HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
You should feel feisty, and that's appropriate. Conditions are changing. You're getting stronger, and the other guys are getting weaker. You have a lot to learn from each other, so don't miss the lesson. It has to do with keeping your word.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
A passionate, outspoken mood is in effect. You may decide to keep a low profile. Don't battle about trivial points. Let the people who care about it do that while you do something more interesting
Gemini; Today is a 7.
You could be inspired to gather with a group of friends and to take on a huge project. If you do, you could be successful. You and your neighbors could vastly improve your local conditions. If you don't, who will?
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You should be doing pretty well. A strong authority figure is watching to find out whether you should have more responsibility. You might get more money, too, if you've done what's required. It's a good day to ask for a raise or to sell something that's valuable.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You've struggled for the past few weeks, but that's just about resolved. Contact an attractive person and set up a date soon. Celebrate having made it through a difficult phase — together.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Watch for a breakdown at home. You can get whatever you need to replace whatever's worn out, but it may take some thought. You'll save a lot if you do some of the work yourself. Study may be required for that.
The person most likely to assist you with a financial matter is your partner or your mate. Don't be embarrassed even if you've gone round and round about money in the past. You can devise a plan that will work if you put your heads together.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
A lot of work is coming in. That's good news because it looks like a lot of money is coming in, too. Rake in the dough Don't let a moment — or a cent of it — go to waste!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You should start to feel stronger. Your adrenaline is pumping, so race around at top speed. Set up something fun for tonight that will burn off a few calories, too. Dancing, anyone?
There's plenty of activity at your house. A whole bunch of people could show up for dinner, or you could have a sink full of ants! Don't plan on going out tonight. It's a sure bet you'll be kept busy at home.
People feel strongly about everything, on both sides of the issues. You want everybody to stick to the facts, but that's a challenge. You'll be kept hopping, figuring out which facts are true and which are fiction. Good luck!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
This is a good day for you to make money. A contact from far away can help. You may also learn something valuable in an upper-division class. Stretch your brain, and odds are good that you can fatten your wallet.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
AMES, Iowa — The No. 6 team in women's basketball will open its season in a high school gym, and coach Bill Fennelly is not pleased.
Iowa State to start season at high school
With its highest ranking ever, Fennelly's Iowa State team opens the season tonight at Creighton. Well, not actually at Creighton. The two teams will play at Omaha, Neb., Marian High School, in a gym that seats 1,200.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Creighton's usual home court.
Omaha's Civic Auditorium, was heavily booked so the Rivals have to play
elsewhere on occasion. The auditorium, which seats 9,493, is being used this weekend for an Omaha company's holiday-millennium party and a Stevie Nicks concert.
"When the game was scheduled, they might have known about the problem, but they did not tell me," Fennelly said.
Fennelly said the first time he heard anything about the game being played in a high school gym was in July, when a Creighton assistant told him there was a possibility it might happen.
He said he did not know for sure until he saw Creighton's schedule.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Cyclones receiver quits with one game left
AMES, Iowa — Wide receiver Kenyatta Burris has quit the Iowa State football team with one game left in his college career.
Burris, who transferred to Iowa State from Los Angeles Valley College before last season, had been replaced by Craig Campbell on the two-deep for the Cyclones' finale at Kansas tomorrow.
Burris had caught five passes for 56 yards and returned three kickoffs for 12 yards.
The 5-foot-10, 184-pound player had been promoted to No. 2 on the depth chart after Damien Groce broke his arm at Nebraska in the fifth game.

pended for the Tigers' season finale at Kansas State, a move that essentially ended the senior's career.
"He wasn't playing as much, and he wanted that chance," Napoleon Black said. "It wasn't about the number of carries. It was just about the chance to play."
Black started nine games this season, rushing for a team-high 740 yards on 169 carries. He averaged 23 carries for 110 yards in Missouri's first six games but in the last four games had just 32 carries for 83 yards.
BASEBALL
McGwire, Cardinals aaree to contract option
ST. LOUIS — Mark Mcwire and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed yesterday to exercise the $11 million
mutual option for 2001.
McGwire, 36, gets $9 million next season as part of a $28.5 million, three-year contract he agreed.
Both sides had to agree to the option. If the Cardinals declined to exercise it, McGwire would have received a $2 million buyout and become eligible for free agency after the 2000 season.
with the Cardinals in September 1997.
If the team exercised it and McGwire declined, he would not have had a buyout and would have
been eligible for free agency after next season.
"I've said all along that there are no better fans than Cardinals fans, and that there is no better place to play basketball in St. Louis," McGwire said in a statement. "I've experienced a lifetime of memories during my time as a member of the Cardinals, and I look forward to continuing this fantastic relationship."
Woods doesn't play well in Malaysia tournament
After hitting a record 70 home runs in 1997 and a major league-leading 65 this year, McGwire enters next season with 522 career home runs, 10th on the career list. With 52 next season, he would pass Harmon Killebrew and break into the top five.
"Leave me alone," a frustrated Woods said toward the gallery as he strode away from the ninth green, after firing a 4-under 67 at the World Cup yesterday, leaving the United States team five strokes behind the first-place Japanese.
GOLF
Thousands of spectators followed the U.S. team of Woods and Mark O'Meara, playing in the same group as the Malaysians, around the 6,807-yard, par-71 Mines Resort and Golf Club course.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Tiger Woods was angry, and the Japanese players were delighted.
Woods said later that some of the photographers kept taking pictures at the wrong time but that the crowds were fine.
Woods missed several birdie chances on the front nine, including a three-foot putt that lipped the cup on the eighth hole. On the ninth, he drove his first shot into trees on the right, left his second shot short and then three-putted from 18 feet for a double bogey.

improved in the second exhibition as the team was able to run every offensive set that it tried except one.
"It's one of the most challenging offenses in the game," Washington said. "It requires a lot of patience. We have been getting better, and it will be very effective as the season goes along."
The biggest problem the team faces now is health. Both senior shooting guard Suzi Raymont and senior center Heather Fletcher have had the flu. Junior guard Casey Pruitt is sidelined because of a knee injury, and sophomore center Nikki White is still recovering from a season-ending knee injury last season.
Despite these injuries and illnesses, junior forward Jaclyn Johnson said she expected the team to do well in Houston.
"We just have to play with tenacity," Johnson said. "We have to go out focused and ready to play our game. If we don't let them control the game, we will get the victory."

"I think we will try to press," Williams said. "We will run, but that is no revelation. We've done that every year."
