The lanky header specialist and goalscorer took part in the competition for the national cup in his last round at his home club with the North Baden amateur team. In the 5-2 success on October 14, 1951 in Mannheim against the selection of Rhineland-Palatinate, he scored two goals as a center forward at the side of half-forward Kurt Ehrmann . In the next round he lost with Nordbaden high with 1: 6 against Württemberg. Beck made his debut on the first day of the 1952/53 season, on August 24, 1952, in a 7-1 home win against Ulm in 1846 with two goals in the Oberliga Süd. At the end of the round, the striker had scored 15 goals in 28 missions alongside teammates like Rudi Fischer , Kurt Sommerlatt , Ernst Kunkel and Hans Strittmatter and was fourth with his new club in the south. He celebrated the South German championship three times with the KSC in the next few years (1956, 1958, 1960), was in the final of the German championship in 1956 and also won the DFB Cup in this most successful year for the KSC . In a contemporary almanac, the long center or half-forward was characterized as a "type of British professional, tricky, header artist, gifted goal instinct".

The attacker from Daxlanden had his most successful season personally in 1956/57 when the KSC took third place and Beck scored 34 goals in 30 league games and thus became the top scorer's record scorer . In the south, Eckehard Feigenspan from Eintracht Frankfurt ranked second with 22 goals. Uwe Seeler from Hamburger SV with 31, Alfred Kelbassa from Borussia Dortmund with 30, Otto Hölzemann from TuS Neuendorf with 28 goals and Helmut Faeder from Hertha BSC with 18 goals followed in the places. The "Tall One" started the round on August 19, 1956 with a 3: 3 home draw against BC Augsburg with two goals. In the following two league games another six goals followed and after the first half of the season the penalty area striker led the scorers list in the south with 19 goals. On the last match day, May 19, 1957, he increased his hit rate in the 8-1 home win with three goals against FC Schweinfurt 05 to 34 hits. The KSC striker did not make it into the national soccer team. In the seven international matches of the 1956/57 season, national coach Sepp Herberger relied on inner strikers like Willi Schröder , Ulrich Biesinger , Fritz Walter , Hans Neuschäfer , Alfred Pfaff , Max Morlock , Jakob Miltz , Hans Schäfer , Rolf Geiger , Alfred Kelbassa, Engelbert Kraus and Aki Schmidt .

With a North Baden contract player selection he met on November 19, 1958 in Sofia against a Bulgarian B selection and formed the internal storm in the 4-2 success of the guests with the two Mannheimers Lorenz Schmitt and Ernst Langlotz . Another time he appeared in a North Baden selection on August 1, 1959 in a 1: 3 defeat against a Southwest selection. Beck played his last association game in the Oberliga Süd on April 9, 1961 at the home game in the Wildpark Stadium against 1. FC Nuremberg. In front of 55,000 spectators, the future German champions prevailed 4-2; Beck scored both goals from Karlsruhe and said goodbye to his fellow strikers Reinhold Wischnowsky , Günter Herrmann , Friedel Späth and Reinhold Nedoschil as KSC's top scorer legend.
