Dick Artmeier was a farm boy from Clarksburg, Indiana who came south to play for Florida State from 1952 through 1956.

 His coach, Bud Kennedy, described him as "a defensive ace who was an important factor in all our victories - particularly the close ones." In his greatest defensive game Artmeier held high scoring West Virginia All-American "Hot Rod" Hundley to 7 points in the 1955 Orange Bowl tournament.

 The 1954-55 Seminoles, who went 22-4, were led offensively by Hall of Famers Jimmy Oler and Ham Wernke, while Artmeier provided the defensive spark. "Arty" ranked third in scoring behind Oler and Wernke on his last two teams and was an outstanding rebounder.

 He received his Bachelors and masters degrees from FSU and a doctorate from Indiana University. As Florida State moved forward to greater national recognition in basketball Dick Artmeier made a major contribution to Seminole athletics
