High jumper Keith Guinn
Light workout boosts KU
For the first time this week, KU football coach Bald Moore yesterday walked off the field to thank his team.
That might have been because of Moore's decision to schedule a light workout yesterday, rather than heavy contact work the Jawhaves had been used to.
"We had some brushed up people and wanted to rest them," Moore said.
Linebacker Don Pile returned to practice yesterday after sitting out most fall games.
Moore received more good news when she was learned another linebacker, Randy Smith.
Moore has scheduled a scriumme at 1:30 p.m. or 2 p.m. Saturday on the practice day.
Practice exams, review lectures, test taking techniques. $125 plus 30% off any course starting Sept. 9. #4. 30 p.m. Location in Kansas City. For more information, contact

Guinn enjoys record jump
By KEN STONE
Sports Writer
Two weeks ago, Keith Guin was in Eugene, Ore., confidently warming up for one of the most important competitions of his high turning career.
Guinn, a University of Kansas junior, was competing against six of the best bumpers in the nation. At stake: two spots on the U.S. N.C.A.R. team. October for the Pan-American Games.
Guinn had spent the summer participating in a hectic, month-long European tour with an AAU team. Tendonitis in his right knee, which had hampered his jumps in June and early July, had responded to treatment.
guinn had topped 7-1 to place second in the U.S.-West Germany-Africa track meet one month earlier. In practice for that team, NBC, N.C., he had almost cleared 7-3.
AND AFTER A WEEK of lounging and water skiing at his parents' summer home in Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, Guinn was ready and rested for the Pan-Am trials.

was set at a modest 6-8, a height he had routinely leamed in high school.
Gunn started his standard run, following the curved path of the typical Fosbury Boots, and he approached the bar, he gathered for what was to be an easy practice clearance.
At that time, Guinn said he was reminded of his father's earlier advice to get a good education.
He missed.
GUINN RECALED THE TRAAT, after that jump, he jumped. he said, "I can't eat a mushroom! I'm rasted."
But later, after adjusting his approach run, Guinna leaped 7.2 on his third try and 7.3 on his first. Finally, after some helpful advice from Oregon State's Tom Woods, he cleared 7.4, a personal best by two inches, on his first try.
A soft-speaking civil engineering major from Shawne Mission, Guinan said he was so satisfied with that jump he didn't argue with Woods' decision to move the bar to 75%, just one inch under Dwight Stones' world record.
But both Guinn and Woods missed that head height, with Guinn declared the winner.
Guin, naturally, likes his chances in that October meet.
of all, both became recipients of round trip fares to Mexico City.
"I THINK I CAN DO pretty well," he said.
"I want to jump at least 7-3, and under good conditions I'd like another PR (personal record)."
What about getting a world record of 7-7 at Mexico City?
"I feel like I'm pretty sure that I can
make it sometimes, he said. "But I feel a lot
of the time."
"I don't think I have as much a mental block as some people," he said.
Whether Guinim can break out ahead of the pack of 7-4 jumpers—and topple Dwight Stones as the King of the Hill—will be told in time.
A good time, in fact, would be next July at the Olympic Games in Montreal.
Guinn is tied for seventh on this year's list of the top high jumpers in the world. He thinks he might have one advantage over them, though.
Guinan realizes that, and matter-of-factly says, "I'm trying to jump as high as I can."
