From the Tigers he moved to South Melbourne, where he played 3 games and kicked 2 goals in 1929.
Mobile, athletic, and skilful, he was among the best players afield as the Tigers trounced Collingwood in the 1980 grand final, and for several years after that he could lay claim to being the most touted ruckman in the game.
After 124 games for the Tigers he crossed to New Norfolk as captain-coach where, five years later, he made history by steering the side to its first ever TANFL premiership courtesy of a 14.13 (97) to 9.14 (68) grand final defeat of North Hobart.
Bud had been playing baseball for the Alturas Tigers since his arrival and he was a member of the Alturas town basketball team.
After the war, nearing age 30 and with two children, he teamed with an old "Tigers" baseball buddy, Arn Hirony mous to purchase the Lowell and Williams store in Alturas.
Born in Coburg, Oregon on October 14, 1910, he was one of 10 children born to Luther F. and Mary E. Killingbeck.
