With one rower having been replaced, the team again won silver at the 1927 European Rowing Championships in Como.[4] At the 1930 European Rowing Championships in Liège, Käser won a silver medal with the coxless four.[5] For the 1931 European Rowing Championships in Paris, was back in the coxed four where they won bronze.

After his competitive career, Käser was a coach at his rowing club for several decades.[6] [7]
