Beloit College

“Bob” Rudolph was an outstanding center on the first York High School basketball team to join the “Elite Eight” finalists at the Illinois state tournament.  He continued to display his impressive talent on the collegiate scene and made Beloit a Midwest Conference championship contender for three years by leading the Buccaneers to 46 victories in 64 games.  He was named the team’s most valuable player as a junior and senior when he was first in scoring and rebounding, and was an all-conference selection both seasons.  Despite his height of “only 6-3”, Rudolph played the pivot position well against consistently taller opponents.  His total of 1,218 points, for a per-game average of 18.9, placed him third among the College’s all-time high scorers.  In his senior year, he scored 418 points and had 179 rebounds to pace the Bucs to a 17-4 record, the best for a Bill Knapton – coached team up to that time.  Rudolph graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1969.  He is now a partner in the legal firm of Rudolph, Kubasta, Rathien and Murach in Wautoma, Wisconsin
