HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 29).
The schedule's tough this year, but a nice promotion could be your reward. Decide in December to make the big change. Study through February to qualify. You get a boost in April and a possible setback in May. The coast is clear again in August, but a big test is scheduled for September. Relax with friends in October, and count up your merit badges next November.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
The back-to-work theme is appropriate 'cause there's way too much to do. Pay close attention to detail, too. Now that you know it's important, you can move your quality control check to top priority
You'll most likely feel mellow today. You'll be able to tackle a difficult topic. Don't worry even if there isn't enough money for everything you'd like. There seems to be plenty of love, and that's much more important.
Lots of changes are underway. Are you and your partner having a tiff? Are you thinking about moving or rearranging your furniture? Some planning is in order. It may not be easy, but later you'll sure be glad that you did it.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You're learning quickly today, and that's good.
You have to do that to keep up with a new and unfamiliar chore. This will be fun, almost, once you're used to the routine. Keep at it. You're almost there.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You can anticipate a conflict today, most likely about money. If you're generating the income, you get to say how it's spent. If it's the other way around, you'd better dummy up. That looks rather unlikely, however.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You're interested and interesting now. You could find out something that you've been wondering about for a long time. Ask leading questions, and you may get the information you seek. It may come from an unexpected source, however.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Some nice people help you out. That's good. The bad news is that your plan isn't worked through completely. Maybe you ought to wait a little while before launching this project. Back to the drawing board!
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
You have a pretty good scheme in mind. Discuss it just a little bit more before you proceed. Security is important, and that's not part of the equation yet Take the time to forge a framework you can build upon.
There's a test today, so watch out. You may be called to account for something you've done recently. Or, if you haven't done it, you'll need to explain why not. Have the facts and figures at your fingertips, and you'll wow 'em.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You have a grand time in earth signs now. That makes you even better at business and more practical than usual. No matter what happens you will most likely make a profit, so get busy.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You're facing a bit of a dilemma. If you go off with your friends, you'll have lots of fun. You might spend more than you can afford, however. Either come up with another source of income or another group of friends to play with!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Things are changing, and that might make you nervous. To increase your own personal stability, figure out what you want to make happen. It's difficult to get where you want to go if you have no idea where that is! Set a goal.

Arizona beats Kentucky, wins Preseason NIT title
NEW YORK — This Presseason NIT business really agrees with Arizona
Coach Lute Olson's team won its third championship this decade and ran its tournament winning streak to 12 games. And the title came without much trouble for No. 8 Arizona
After blowing out Notre Dame in the semifinals, Arizona overcame some erratic shooting and battered No. 11 Kentucky in the finals, 63-51.
"That certainly was not pretty." Olson said, after Arizona shot 39.7 percent, and Kentucky managed just 35.6.

"We had a hard time getting our shots up once they had their defense set," he said. "The

The championship gave Arizona (4-0) another Preseason NIT sweep. Olson's Wildcats won the title in 1990, beating Arkansas in the final, and again in 1995 when they beat Georgetown for the championship. Arizona has won 12 straight games in this tournament after being eliminated by Nevada-Las Vegas in the first round in 1986.

Yzerman hits milestone with 600th career goal
DETROIT — Steve Yzerman scored his 600th goal in the first period of Detroit's game against Edmonton on Friday night and became the 11th NHL player to reach the milestone.
The Red Wings captain scored on a power play after winning a faceoff. Yzerman took a pass from Nicklas Lidstrom, skated up the goal line, and lifted a shot that bounced off the back of Oilers goalee Tommy Salo's legs into the net.
Yzerman, in his 17th season with the Red Wings, is second to former Pittsburgh star Mario Lemieux on the NHL's list of players who have scored all their goals with one team. Lemieux had 613 goals with the Penguins.
Yzerman, who topped 900 assists last week, joined Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Marcel Dionne and Mark Messier as the only NHL players with 600 goals and 900 assists. Yzerman has 1,503 points ranks seventh on the career list.

Big shots secure Jayhawk wins
Continued from page 1B
finished with 17 points, helped put the Yellow Jackets back in the game. But Kansas responded.
With Kansas' lead cut to 12 points with 7:38 remaining, sophomore guard Jeff Boschee knocked in a three pointer and helped the 'Hawks push their lead to a comfortable 16.
"Jeff Boschee made some big baskets in the second half when Georgia Tech cut it to 12 or so," Williams said. "Luke (Axtell) hit some big shots as well."
Both Bosche, who has made 11 of 14 three-point attempts this year, and Axell, who
drilled six of nine three-pointers in Alaska, were on fire from beyond the three-point line, hitting big shots at big times. Boschee, who played limited minutes against Georgia Tech because of foul trouble, scored eight points.
Boschee and Axtell, who scored 11 points Saturday, were named to the 11-man all-tournament team.
"Kenny, Luke and Jeff stepped up big," said sophomore guard Marlon London, who logged 26 minutes and held the point guard duties for much of his time because of Boschee's and freshman Kirk Hinrich's foul trouble. "That's what you've got to do to have a
winning team."
Basketball notes:
■ Kansas finished its victory against Xavier Friday night with a tournament- and school-record 36 assists. Six Jayhawks scored in double-figures, and ten players logged more than 10 minutes.
- The championship erases the memories of two previous losses in the championship game in Alaska (to UAB in 1984 and Seton Hall in 1988) and moves the Jayhawks to 4-0 on the season. The next game for the Jayhawks will be at home Thursday night against Pepperdine.
