Jacobs attended Christchurch Boys' High School.[2] He was a batsman who occasionally kept wicket. His highest first-class scores were 61 (Canterbury's top score) and 69 in his first match in December 1927, when Canterbury beat Otago by four wickets.[3] He played senior cricket in Christchurch until the early 1950s, and was a member of the Canterbury Cricket Association's management committee in the 1930s and 1940s.[2]
Jacobs served in Greece and Crete with the New Zealand Army in World War II. He was captured by the Germans and spent several years as a prisoner of war.[4] After the war ended in Europe he toured England with the New Zealand Services team from May to September 1945, playing in the team's only first-class match.[5]
