Shinn, an all-Big Eight end in 1963, said that his knee felt fine and that he was "ready for anything."
Mike injured his left knee during spring practice in 1964. He reinjured it against Texas Christian the next fall and missed the rest of the season. An operation and extensive work-outs have restored his knee's strength. Shinn said.
"I'M ALL SQUARED away now and really ready for Arizona," he said.
SHINN HAS played both ways
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
"Our defense is good," he says, "as is our offense. We have a young team so we'll make some mistakes, but when the team begins to jell we should have a good year," he said.
Shinn makes a practice of being up for every game. "I don't do anything special," he confesses, "except review the critical plays in my mind and thinking positive. One game at a time is all I play." he said.
in his end position but expects to see action only on defense this season.
-Hawk Talks-
KU to Top Arizona
KU today lost another of its starting linebackers for Saturday's game against Arizona, Jim Pilch, 225-pound Lawrence junior. He fractured his jaw Tuesday in practice.
Coach Jack Mitchell said Pilch will be lost to the club for the rest of the year.

Bulletin
Predicting the outcome of a football game is like taking a final examination—once it is over with there is nothing to do but cry.
IF RAINDROPS were tears KU players and fans would have the wettest towels in the Midwest after last Saturday's drenching at the hands of Texas Tech, 27-6.
Asked about her husband's activities on the field, Mrs. Shinn replied, "It's a thrill to me."
KU's aerial attack suffered Saturday as attempts to pass into 40 mile per hour winds forced the Jayhawks to the ground—where mud-slinging and "three yards and a cloud of silt" was the order of the day.
LOOK FOR clear Kansas skies and the talented air-arm of KU Bob Skahan, to correct this situation when Kansas plays Arizona Saturday.
KU football fans agree.
order for the KU halfback that breaks away for a long touchdown late in the third quarter.
NOTICE THAT Coach Mitchell will have a surprise for the Arizona defense and coaches when he unveils the "whammy" play in the first half.
Watch for a much improved kicking game that will give KU better field position. Hard work on kicking this week should pay off.
"ONE OF THE highpoints of my career was my selection as all-Big Eight," he said. Widely regard as a potential All-America, Mike may have reason for greater satisfaction before the season ends.
Don't underestimate the Arizona defense—one of the best in the nation last year—allowing only 7.6 points per game, but remember that the University of Arizona is staying in Kansas City the night before the game—a place where strange things may happen.
A good student, Mike isn't lazy in the classroom. He is majoring in engineering and intends to enter graduate school next spring.
Count on KU to convert all their extra points and expect one field goal.
Mike and his wife Joyce were married in August and live at Stouffer Place apartments.
Don't be surprised when KU's defense stiffens Arizona's leading ground gainer, left halfback Brad Hubbert, with a stunting defense.
FINAL SCORE? KU 17, Arizona 13.
A standing ovation will be in
KU fans can meet at the refreshment stand after the "whammy" play and talk over this week's prediction.
The Jayhawks have now lost their top two middle linebackers. Last week's regular Greg Roth had a badly bruised left knee and will not play this weekend.
A sophomore from Duncan, Okla., 205-pound Johnny Greene, will most likely get the starting nod from Coach Mitchell on Saturday.
