HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
Wheeling and dealing is important today. You'll have to use unfamiliar skills to win. In athletic competition, you're favored. With finances, you'd do well to get the advice of an expert whom you can trust.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You can reach further than ever before, especially with the help of a partner. The two of you have information that you don't want to share with others. Use it to your mutual advantage.
You're getting lots of attention lately. It could be unwelcome. If you need help from a more experienced person, ask. Do the homework, too. Study, and you'll not only gain mastery, you'll also gain respect. Also, keep quiet about how much you don't know.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Go ahead and make a romantic commitment. That will be your basis for a new adventure. It could be something you're planning to do together. Whether it's a weekend outing or a first-class honeymoon, it should go well if you start planning now.
Leo: Today is a 4.
Virgo: Today is a 9.
You're looking good. You have power and energy, and you're forthright and confident. What's to stop you from getting what you want? Not much. Whatever it is, you can handle it.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You need to take things slowly and carefully, especially if a purchase is required. Think about it first. Stick close to home tonight and listen more than you talk. That will be better for romance, too.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
You're smart right now, and careful, too. You like to study slowly so you can make sure the information sinks in. Practice, and you'll definitely learn the material. Work on something you're close to mastering and push yourself above the top.
Capricorn; Today is an 8.
You might not be the world's best business person. You're more interested in learning, teaching or standing up for justice. You might be able to change something about your work, however, so you make more money at it. If you don't know how, ask an expert.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You feel rather feisty. Your adrenaline is pumping! Your opinion is valuable, and you ought to share it with as many people as possible. You could make a big difference, so speak up!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
A lot is going on in your life right now. You have interesting places to be and people to see. Which opportunities should you take, and which will you have to pass on? Something you've done before will be easiest. Do that first.
This is not a good time to start a new project.
Finish up old ones instead. Something at home
needs attention. If you don't know how, get help.
Maybe you can hire someone to do it. You don't
have to do it yourself. Just make sure it's complete
and move on.
KANSAS CROSS COUNTRY
Despite improvements, team won't go to finals
The Kansas Cross Country team wanted a chance to compete in the NCAA Championships this season, but the District V race on Saturday didn't go the way the Jayhawks wanted. Neither the men's or women's teams — or any individuals — will advance to the championships.

"Lennox Lewis is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, and when we go home we'll decide what to do with the IBF belt," Eliades said. "The way the IBF acted tonight was disdaceful."
Panos Eliades, the main promoter of the champion from Britain, said Lewis might turn his back on the beleaguered IBF.

Woods ends his streak with sixth-place finish
GOLF
TA SHEE, Taiwan — His four-tournament winning streak finished, Tiger Woods walked off the course after finishing sixth at the Johnnie Walker Classic.
And he didn't feel like talking about it. A winner in eight of his last 11 tournaments, Woods putted poorly all week and his game deserted him entirely on the front nine yesterday. But the way Michael Campbell of New Zealand played, there was no chance of Woods making another comeback. Campbell, who contended in British Open at St. Andrews in 1995 but hasn't won since that year, closed with a 2-under 70 for a one-stroke victory ahead of Geoffrey Olivia of Australia.
"Tiger, he's a freak of nature," Campbell said. "I mean Tiger is so phenomenal it's frightening. The only
way we can defeat Tiger is for him to make mistakes,"
Woods committed all sorts of errors yesterday. First, he hooked his drive on the sixth hole into the rough and down a gully beside a hedge, forcing him to take a stroke.
Then, on the eighth hole, things got worse. He drove into the rough, hit his recovery shot into the water and took three putts for a triple bogey.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
iowa State junior waits until ready for NBA
AMES. Iowa — Marcus Fizer wants to play in the NBA. The Iowa State junior has the body, the temperament and, judging by what he has done with the Cyclones so far, the talent. He just has to make sure it's the
Fizer said there's a chance he could leave after this season. But he
also said he won't go to the pros until Iowa State plays in a postseason tournament and until coach Larry
Eustachy thinks he's ready.
Though the 6-foot-8, 265-pounder — think Karl Malone in body type — improved his rebounding average from 6.7 as a freshman to 7.6 last season, Eustachy said Fizer can do better.
"We're working very hard to get him to rebound the ball outside his area," Eustachy said. "He's good when the ball comes out over his head. He's got the best vertical leap on the team, so he can jump up and get them."
Virginia Tech holds hope for championship finish
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech plans to Hokie Pokie right into the national championship game.
Led by a defense that forced six turnovers, including three interceptions by cornerback Anthony Midget, and two touchdown runs by Shyrone Stith, No. 2 Virginia Tech sidesteped No. 19 Miami 43-10 Saturday night and kept alive its drive to the Sugar Bowl and a national title.
After coming back from an early 10-point deficit and taking a 14-10 halftime lead, the Hokies (9-0, 5-0 Big East) blew open the fiercely fought game in the fourth quarter on a 64-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ricky Hall and a 51-yard fumble return for a score by lke Charlton 24 seconds later.
Virginia Tech, third in last week's Bowl Championship Series standings, should move into second place behind No. 1 Florida State in next week's standings.
Mississippi streak ends with loss to Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Mississippi State finally ran out of miracles and out of the national title chase.
Andrew Zow threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Shamari Buchan with 6:04 to play Saturday and gave No. 11 Alabama a 19-7 victory against No. 8 Mississippi State.
The win gave the Crimson Tide (8-2, 6-1) sole possession of first place in the SEC West and ended a three-game losing streak against the Bulldogs (8-1, 5-1).
The loss ruined Mississippi State's chances at its first-ever undefeated season and probably will prevent the Bulldogs from making a second straight trip to the SEC title game. But if Alabama beats Auburn next week, the Tide are guaranteed a spot in the SEC championship game and a rematch with No. 4 Florida.

Jayhawks use press to dispose of Australian team
on and led 54-18 at the half.
While the game quickly got out of hand, there was enough action to keep the sellout crowd of 16,300 entertained — especially at the 13-minute mark when Williams looked down the bench to make a substitution.
To a cheer of "Luuuuke," Kansas junior guard Luke Axtell ripped off his warm-ups and checked in for the first time as a Jayhawk.
About 20 seconds later, Axell scored his first points for Kansas when he
forced a steal, ran the fast break and was fouled, which sent him to the free-throw line. The two foul shots were good and Axtell's nerves were eased.
"It had been a year and a half since I scored in a basketball game," Axtell said. "That felt really good."
Overall, the Jayhawks showed improvement from the first exhibition game. The offense scored 119 points, but again, most of those points came from fast breaks, instead of half-court offensive sets. Williams said he had hoped that Geelong would play more man-to-man instead of zone defense.
"We didn't get as much of our half-court offensive stuff as I had hoped, especially when they went to zone," Williams said. "We weren't very effective against the zone, but we haven't worked on it, so we shouldn't expect to be."
Although his new offense was sparsely used, Williams insisted that it did exist and that man-to-man, half-court defense would be a key to the Jayhawks' success.
"It's not the Chicago Bulls' triple-post offense," Williams said. "It's what we run to help our team, and it does have a name. It's called Kansas' offense."
The next opportunity to play against a man-to-man defense will come at 7:05 p.m. Friday in the season opener against Fairfield at Allen Fieldhouse. Although Williams said he'd like to have another preseason game to get some more work, Boschee said he was ready to get the season started.
"We did execute better tonight, and I think the whole thing's going to start on Friday," Boschee said. "We're going to face a lot better competition, and I'm ready for the season to start."
