Knee injuries get jumper down
Sports Writer
By ROB RAINS
As a freshman, Keith Guinn appeared to have unlimited potential as a high jumper.
When Guen broke the University of Kansas indoor record in the high jump a little more than three years ago, there didn't appear to be anything that could stop
What wasn't foreseen, however, was the occurrence of knee injuries, which had occurred in many cases.

That trouble resulted in the second
operation of his career, forcing him to lavout all of last year.
Guinn is competing now, but he hasn't regained the form that allowed him to win the Pan-American game trials with a 7-4 leap in late 1980s year the KU outdoor record.
"IT'S GOT to come sometime," said Guin, who at 6'3", 175 pounds, is considered one of the strongest jumpers in the Midwest.
Guinn's best jump of the season came in Wichita, Jan. 14, in a dual against Wichita, Jan. 13.
"I don't have very good technique and quickness," Guinn said. "I'm

strong and I'm fairly fast, but I'm just not putting it all together now.
"I'm in a slump-my technique was better a few weeks ago."
Guinn's history of knee trouble started while playing basketball at Shawnee Mission North High School. First it was his broken right wrist, then having trouble with his right knee again.
"ITS BEEN swelling up some." Gunn
I have to bend it when I go to
the office and bring it to bent."
"The sport is 90 per cent mental and I'm not concentrating the way I should," Guinn said. "I take a little longer on my approach than most juniper's because there was a lot of competition. My juniper and I wanted to do my best on all of them. I need to do more of that now."
Guinn said that he thought a big part of his trouble right now was mental.
Assistant coach Gary Pepin, who handles the jumpers, said he thought Guinn had a problem trying to handle the work load because of the swelling of his knee.
"WEVE HAD to change his workouts, and modify them to fit what his leg can bandle. Pepin said: "He's a little behind us, but he gave me less; he didn't get to work hard in the fall."
KU has more than its share of outstanding high jumpers, with three having gone over the seven-foot mark and another having crossed it. The spirited competition has helped him.
"one reason I came here was because I
lost my team and was going to be good competition," Gwynne said.
Gunn lives with the frustration of not being able to compete as well as he'd like. He can't afford it, and his
"SOMETIMES I think that if I can just pop a good jump I'll be alright, and I try not to worry about it," Guinn said. "I just want to be consistent.
"I'm still learning. I've been out of
competition for a year, and it's gradually coming back, sometimes too gradually.
"Being out for a year has hurt me a little more than I expected."
Guinn will be leading the KU jumpers into tough competition this weekend—the United States Track and Field Federation Championships in Oklahoma City.
ensuing scuffle disturbs me equally. I don't want our league to develop into a boxing league. I'm not after Detroit, per se, but I am disturbed."
The USTFF was the site of Guinn's record-breaking jump three years ago, and Saturday also is his birthday. Maybe his luck is changing.
Kings request fight investigation

KANSAS CITY (AP)—The Kansas City Kings requested Monday that Larry O'Brien, commissioner of the National Basketball Association, investigate an incident that occurred Sunday during the Kansas City Detroit game.
"But I did see the film clip last right on local television. This combined with what Coach Phil Johnson told me of the incident caused me to call Commissioner O'Brien and request that he conduct an investigation whatever penalties he sees fit to impose."

"I did not see the incident on television," I told Joe Axelson, president and general manager of the company.
