He was substituted in at half time for Eugène de Kalbermatten.<ref name="fcb-achiv-fcb-biel 1936/37"></ref> This was his only game for the club for some time. He was about to move to the  Racing Club Strasbourg but the outbreak of the Second World War prevented this transfer. Kipfer re-joined the first team again in their 1940–41 season. Between the years 1936 and 1943 he played a total of 13 games for Basel. Nine of these games were in the Nationalliga, one in the Swiss Cup and the other three were friendly games. Ernst Kipfer remained closely connected to the FCB as club member and interested supporter right up until he died at his home in Allschwil.
