Now that former KU track star Jeff Buckingham has set a new American record in the pole vault, the Gardner native said yesterday that he has his eyes set on the world record.
Buckingham, who graduated from KU last spring, set a new American record Saturday with a vault of 18-10 and $^4$ inches at the Lawrence Open Track and Field Championships in Memorial Stadium.
He barely missed breaking the world record mark of 19 feet and $ \frac{3}{4} $ inches when his arm hit the bar on his third attempt at 19-1 and $ \frac{3}{4} $ inches.
"I thought that I could set the American record with the right conditions," Buckingham said. "The condition was good on Saturday and I made a good vault."
Buckingham, who turned down an invitation to compete in a meet in France so he could attempt a new sport, said that he could have set a world

"The pole I ordered is a hair bigger and I really think I could have cleared the bar with that pole," he said. "I guess it will have to wait until later."
Buckingham has since received the new pole and will get plenty of chances to test it in world-class competition in the near future.
Buckingham leaves Friday for a five-week trip to Europe where he will compete in 12 invitational competitions before returning to Lawrence Sept. 10.
He will first compete in Scotland and Rome prior to the World Track and Field Championships, Aug. 7 to 14 in Helsinki, Finland.
After competing in Helsinki, Buckingham will make stops in England, Germany and France.

KU Athletic Director Monte Johnson said yesterday that a social visit between himself and Wichita State University Athletic Director Lew Porkins in late April led to the Jan 8 scheduled basketball game between the two schools, their first regular season meeting since 1953.

The two teams last met in the NCAA Regionalists in New Orleans in 1981. We played on Saturday.
WSU* Johnson said. "I wanted to meet him and talk with him about athletics."
"THE SUBJECT OF basketball came up and we discussed whether there was a possibility that KU and WSU could meet some time in a regular season game. After a matter of working out schedules and open dates, we decided that there was a date we could get together on."
What Johnson and Perkins worked out was a regular season game between the two schools the next three years, Sunday, Jan. 3, in Allen Field House.
"I think it is great for the state of Kansas," said KU head coach Larry Brown. "Here are two powerful basketball schools in the same state and they haven't played (a regular season game) in more than 25 years.
"Television networks have expressed some interest in the game."
Besides the initial KW-Whitcha State game in Lawrence this season, the two teams will meet at Kemper Arena in Kansas City in January during the 1984-85 season, and in Wichita during the 1985-86 season, Johnson said.
"I think a game like this has to be played, for the schools, the fans and the players," Brown said.
"THEER IS A GOOD possibility that the game will be on TV," Johnson said.

HENRY'S WANTS YOUR OPINION ON THE MALL!
I favor construction of a downtown mall as presented by Sizeler Realty Co., provided the cost to the city does not exceed 3.5 million dollars.
I favor construction of a privately-funded "cornfield" mall.
I do not believe Lawrence needs an additional shopping area.
