He was a forward of the Indian field hockey team, which won the gold medal at Los Angeles. He played one match as right-out and scored one goal. He also competed in the men's 4 × 100 metres relay in the athletics programme.[1] He was born in Jhajha, India and was a student of the prestigious school Oak Grove School, Mussoorie, India.

Carr was selected for the hockey team in the 1936 Olympics but could not get leave from his employer.[2] Accordingly, Ahmed Sher Khan was sent in his place to Berlin.[3]
