HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 3).
You're full of new ideas this year, but it's your experience that really pays. Draw up your blueprints in February. Put your money down in March. Practice makes perfect in April. Listen to your elders in May. Let a Leo lead you in August. Feedback from your friends is good in December. An old love comes back next January.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You've been under a great deal of pressure the past few days. And, guess what? You still arel Luckily, you work well in this situation. No need to get angry if the heat's turned up. You can always pull up stakes and go somewhere else.
You're most likely in an entrepreneurial mood. You could come up with an idea, but don't be dismayed if it doesn't work right away. You don't know everything you need to know yet — but you're learning!
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You may have to curtail your activities for a while, due to lack of funds. You do have the money — but if you spend it on one thing, you won't be able to spend it on the other. If you think of this as a game instead of a dilemma, it's all a lot more fun.
Cancer: Todav is a 5.
There's aren't going smooth today. Make sure you're being properly represented. Delegation is good, but if you're responsible for the results, you'd better stay tuned in to the proceedings.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Take things slowly and carefully now. Rely on a partner who knows more about what you're doing than you do. If you don't already have somebody like that on your team, get one immediately. If you don't, your competition has a distinct advantage
Virgo:Today is an 8.
You could encounter a difficult situation. Sure, you're still lucky and popular, but you may be a lit tle bit strapped for cash. You want something you can't afford. No big deal. What you've got is better than what you lack. You can do without it.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You have one last issue to be deal with. If you're charming, as you usually are, you should be able to get most of what you want. Resist the temptation to have a fit if it feels like things are not going your way. You're more apt to win if you don't fear losing
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You are a high-energy person. If anybody could be in two places at the same time, it's you. Today that would come in handy. Maybe you can do it — let your fingers do the walking. Phone ahead!
Whatever you're doing now is more difficult than you'd like it to be. It's also taking up too much of your time. You may have to postpone a date you were eagerly anticipating. Romance will be much easier during the weekend anyway.
You should find a way to make more money. This could be either by taking on another job or by getting a better deal on something you always buy. Look for bargains and other opportunities. Don't let a minor breakdown stop you.
You're intelligent — but, you already knew that.
What you may not have known is that's not enough.
You also have to be tenacious — it's more important than creativity now. Hopefully, you can learn that.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You're effective when working with a team. You don't quite have what you want yet, but that's OK. Get your act together now so you can take on a bigger challenge tomorrow. The problem gets more complex — but you're getting smarter. Don't give up.
KANSAS VOLLEYBALL Middle blocker leads volleyball recruit list
The Kansas volleyball team took steps toward shoring up their roster for next season.
The Jayhawks signed three high school recruits — Jordan Garrison, Sarah Rome and Anna Wheeler — to national letters-of-intent, Kansas coach Ray Bechard announced yesterday.
Garrison is a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Aurora, Ill., who pounded 342 kills to go along with 142 blocks and 206 digs this season.
"Jordan's physical presence and foot speed will help us fill our biggest need, which is at middle blocker," Bechard said. "Her match intensity and enthusiasm are traits which will enable her to have a very successful career at Kansas."
Rome, a 5-11 outside hitter from Eagan, Minn., is a four-year letter winner in volleyball and earned Metro Athlete of the Year honors in 1999.
Wheeler is a 6-1 senior from Bellevue, Neb., and will play multiple positions for the Jayhawks. She was named to the Omaha-World Herald All-Nebraska third team, as well as to the All-Metro First Team and the Nike All-Tournament Team this season.
"Sarah has the ability to impact a match in numerous ways." Rechard said.
"Anna is very athletic and has a great understanding and feel for the game," Bechard said. "She per forms at a high level now, but her best volleyball is ahead of her."

ATLANTA — The two men killed in a brawl that led to murder charges against NFL star Ray Lewis were stabbed to death by someone who "knew something about anatomy," a medical examiner said yesterday.
The two victims' wounds were directly to major organs and both men quickly bled to death, said John Parker, a Fulton County associate medical examiner.

"A lot of times in a fight with a knife, we'll see just mayhem, people swinging wildly, abrasions, light cuts, things like that," Parker said. "This wasn't like that. These were well-directed wounds into vital areas. They knew what they were doing."
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker is being held without bail until at least Feb. 24 and faces life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.
Lewis is charged with two counts of murder in the Monday stabbing deaths of Richard Lollar, 24, and Jacinth "Shorty" Baker, 21.
Lollar was declared dead at the scene by police responding to a fight call in the Buckhead bar district several hours after the Super Bowl ended seven miles away at the Georgia Dome. Baker was transported to a local hospital, but declared dead upon arrival.
Parker said that Baker was wounded in his liver and heart, while Lollar's wounds were concentrated around his heart.
NU recruiting class big; no quarterbacks sign
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska's recruiting class of 21 players covers just about every position except one.
The Cornhuskers did not get a quarterback yesterday when high school recruits signed their letters of intent. Coach Frank Solich said he was disappointed his third recruitment class did not
Of the 21 recruits, 11 are offensive players, nine play defense and one is a kicker. Six are from Nebraska, 14 from seven other states and one from Canada.

Four are offensive linemen, a tradition ally strong position for the 'Huskers. Three have the size to play right away
and all four have the ability, Solich said.
They include Jake Andersen, 6-foot-2,

Westminster (NorthGlenn), Colo., and
Nick Povende (6-5, 300) of Keller,
Texas.
Nebraska received commitments from linebackers Lanny Hopkins (6-1, 195) of Rowlett, Texas, T.J. Hollowell (6-1, 215) of Copperas Cove, Texas, Jason Richenberger (6-1, 200) of Liberty, Mo., and Ira Cooper (6-2, 220) of Omaha (Westside), Neb. All four exhibit the size and speed — running the 40-yard dash in 4.5 or 4.6 seconds — that Nebraska sought.
NFL stars' siblings top list of Mizzou recruits
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's latest recruiting class certainly has name recognition. Among the list of 28 recruits are the younger brothers of St. Louis Rams wide
receiver Isaac Bruce and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Blake. Both Joe Bruce of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Brandon Blake of Orlando, Fla., also play the same position as their NFL siblings.
Blake, who is 6-3 and 210
pounds, threw for 1,600 yards as a senior and also had 750 yards receiving as a senior.
Another quarterback, Cody Buford of Raytown South High School in Kansas City, threw for 800 yards and 13 touchdowns in four games before suffering an elbow injury. A third quarterback, Brock Harvey of Jefferson City High School (Mo.), was rated as the top athlete in Missouri and Kansas by Mo-Kan Recruiting.
Longhorns fill big void with wide receivers
Receivers B.J. Johnson of South Grand Prairie, Texas, Sloan Thomas of Klein, Texas, and Roy Williams of Odessa Permian, Texas, headed a class that includes four Parade All-Americans and six players selected among the nation's best by USA Today
AUSTIN, Texas — Staring at a glaring hole at wide receiver, Texas signed some of the nation's best high school talent at the position yesterday.
The group was a solid encore to the Longhorns' 1999 class, widely rated as the nation's best.
Of the 23 players signed yesterday, the receivers could make the most immediate contributions. All three are expected to compete for playing time next season to replace Kwame Cavil and Ryan Nunez, the Longhorns' top wideouts in 1999.
Texas also signed five linemen and three others labeled as ends, four players listed as backs and athletes, three linebackers, two kickers and a quarterback — Parade All-American Chance Mock of The Woodlands, Texas. Mock passed for 1,441 yards and 16 touchdowns with six interceptions as a senior.
the other Parade honores were running back Arturo "Sneezy" Beltran of Abilene, Texas, who rushed for 2,268 yards and 28 TDs in 1999, and Austin (Lanier), Texas, defensive lineman Sonny Davis.

Eleven of the new recruits played at junior colleges last season, meaning the Jayhawks are aiming to win now. The major issue that Allen needed to address in recruiting was defense — the Jayhawks finished tenth in the conference in total defense last season but were ranked dead last until the halfway mark. Eight of the new junior college players play on that side of the ball, and last year's freshman redshirt
class features at least four defensive players who will be fall standouts.
These newcomers will join standout performers such as solid linebacker Andrew Leclair and first-team, All-Big 12 safety Carl Nesmith to form a much-improved defense.
The offense, once quarterback Dylen Smith settled down, was formidable all season. Next year, the Jayhawks also will get back blazing wide receivers Termaine
Fulton and Byron Gasaway to go along with two blue chip running backs who redshirted in the 1999 campaign.
So what does all of this amount to? For the first time in years, there is no "wait until next year" hovering around the hill. The time to make a bowl push is now because for long suffering Kansas fans, next year has finally arrived.

Three Kansas football players transfer
By Allan Davis

Kansan sportswriter
Three players from the 1999 Kansas football team have transferred to other institutions, coach Terry Allen said at a news conference yesterday.
Running back Mike Lewis and outside linebacker Ocasio Cofield transferred to Division I-AA schools. Wide receiver Anton Paige transferred to a junior college in Georginia.
Lewis, a 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore from Beloit, Wis., transferred to Northern Iowa, where Allen
coached before coming to Kansas.
Lewis played in seven games last season, gaining 56 yards on 13 carries and also scored a touchdown. He caught only one pass for five yards. Lewis came to Kansas in 1997 and was a redshirt his freshman year. He missed the 1988 season because of a knee injury.
Allen said Northern Iowa was probably a good place for Lewis.
"I think he can have great success there," Allen said. "It's a good fit for Mike, and it's an opportunity for him. He's a good football player, and I think he'll have a lot of success there."
Cofield, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound
sophomore from Fort Myers, Fla,
transferred to East Tennessee
State. He played in all 12 games last
season but never started. He came
to Kansas in 1997 and was a redshirt his freshman year. He switched from safety to outside linebacker in 1998 and played in all 11 games but did not start.
Paige, a 6-foot-5. 205-pound wide receiver, appeared in all 12 games last season. He caught 5 passes for 49 yards. Allen did not know which junior college in Georgia Paige had chosen.
Doug Vance, assistant athletics director, said all three transferred at semester.
