An excellent shooter, Rubenstein was part of the great NYU teams of the 1930's. (He left school after his freshman year but returned after a year off.) He was among the top scorers in his first two seasons in the ABL, and played with the Jewels until they folded partly into his fifth season with the club. He joined the Washington Brewers to finish the season, and in the next year played briefly with a different team with the Jewels moniker.
