To Carolii
By Lewis
One of the most consistent
ketball squad this year is a (
Lakeville, Illinois. Throughou
past ones, Art Smejkal has pi
performer.
Smejkal began playing competi
tive basketball at the tender age
of fourteen when he played for
ward for Gaven School in Iugleside,
Illinois. He played four years of
varsity ball in high school while
attending Grant Hiigh. He was
coached by Mike Burbrick and at
tributes much of his hardwood suc
cess to the former. Smejkal's
father, Art, Sr., was quite a bas
ketball player himself and taught
"Little Art" the fundamentals at
an early age.
At Grant High, Art's athletic
career was diversified. He lettered
in track for four years as well as
basketball. He was a consistent
winner in the high hurdles, low
hurdles, and high jump during his
prep days. Smejkal played forward
all four years and his list two
years had an average of better
than 18 points per game. Fans
around Ingleside will not soon for
get the night when Sme.ikal hit the
hoop for the amazing total of 41
points in a single contest, smash
ing school and conference records.
Art came to Carolina in the Fall
of 11.52. His first year he played
varsity ball and had an average of
12 points per game. He missed the
1954 season but returned to active
duty the following Fall. In 1954

t this season, as in the two
oven himself to be a capable
and again this season, he has
helped Carolina immensely with his
fine floor game and team play. His
cont ribution has been significant
but Art is already looking toward
next season when "we should really
have it!"
The Illinois lad attributes Caro
lina's showing this year to im
proved team spirit, more interest,
and a better coordinated attack due
to the added depth in Carolina
strength. Smejkal lauds the play
of teammates Collins and Wallace
throughout the season. Art classi
fies N. C. State as the toughest
team that Carolina has met this
year and classifies the Clemson
game here as "Carolina's finest
team effort."
Smejkal is a junior majoring in
education here at the University.
Art says that he considers Caro
lina students t h e "friendliest
people he knows." He believes that
a little more school spirit on the
part of the students would serve
as a greater ir.centive to Carolina's
efforts.
The fact remains that a great
deal of the credit for Carolina's
success this season is due to the
fine play of one of USC's most
consistent baskethallers, Art Smej
