HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Today is a mixed bag. Secrets vie with a compulsion to tell the truth. If you don't want your secrets revealed, keep quiet. Instead, get other people to talk about theirs.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Today you might feel antsy, and you could want to take a risk. Unfortunately, that is not a good idea. Just about everything — sports, love, money — looks too shaky to bet on. Keep your money in your pocket and wait for a better time.
Something interesting is brewing. There could be a surprise, too, from a person you know well Ask a few questions, and you could find out something you never suspected. Meanwhile, keep quiet about your own secrets if you can.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
A breakdown at work could occur today, but it might be to your benefit. The work routine is disrupted, but this might be an improvement. Be careful of what you talk about and keep private things private.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Romance looks good, although there may be a change in plans. A person you've known for years might throw you a curve. This is not necessarily bad, but it's bound to be pretty interesting. Also, watch out for breakage at home.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Your romantic relationship should be going well, but something else is changing. Be careful with a project you've been working on. Some information is incorrect, so check it every step of the way.
Libra: Todav is a 5.
You are expanding your viewpoint, maybe without even meaning to. You thought things were one way, but it turned out they're another. Interesting new ideas are abundant, especially about money. Might as well learn. It could help you grow rich.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
All kinds of changes are taking place. You'll be more communicative soon, especially about things that have happened before. You may feel compelled to confess, which might cause a problem. Think about it carefully first.
Although you're confident, you should also be careful. Keep your secrets to yourself awhile longer. You don't like to do that, but it's wise. If you need to confess, go to a priest. Otherwise, wait.
Pisces: Todav is an 8.
The problem you're most likely facing involves your friends and work. You're probably being watched. It could be for a promotion, but it could also be for cutbacks. Do the best job you can to tip the scales in your favor.
Mixed conditions are in effect. Ask questions and you might learn all sorts of interesting things. Although you don't want to give away too much, you do want to gather information now. Mainly, just watch and listen.
A secret friend could give you a lead or a way to make a good deal. Protect the other person's interests, and he or she might make it worth your while. This probably won't cost you much, but you may want to make a trade.

plinary reasons.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"It's just for violations of team policy," Slocum said. "I won't elaborate on it, but he is dismissed from the team."
The action came two days after the Aggies lost 37-0 to Nebraska, knocking Texas &M out of the top 25. Texas &M had 2 yards rushing in the game. Hall had one of them on one carry.
Hall, who had just three carries in the last five games, finishes the season with 179 yards and two touchdowns on 53 attempts. He also caught five passes for 59 vards.
He is the only player in school history with more than 2,000 career rushing yards and more than 500 yards in both career punt return and kickoff return yards.
He had 1,024 yards rushing as a junior and 973 as a sophomore. He was the Big 12 Conference freshman of the year in 1996 after rushing for 642 yards and gaining a school-record 573 yards on punt returns.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri will return to a two-quarterback system for the rest of the season, with freshman Justin Gage occasionally spelling Jim Dougherty.
Gage sheds redshirt, MU returns to 2 QB's
From here on out, we'll alternate the quarterbacks," coach Larry Smith said Monday.
Doughery, a sophomore, was 18 for-38 for 169 yards and two inter-
eceptions in a 37-O loss at Oklahoma on Saturday. Dougherty has struggled as the lone quarterback after redshift freshman Kirk Farmer, who had alternated with him at the position, was lost for the season with a broken leg in the Iowa State game three weeks ago.
Smith had planned on redshirting Gage before Farmer's injury but
stuck him in for two series in the fourth quarter Saturday because he said the offense was the most pathetic thing he'd ever seen.
Missouri was outgained 436-2,
and the Tigers were 3-for-19 on
third-down conversions.
Missouri has two games to go. Saturday at home against Texas A&M and next week at Kansas State.
DALLAS — Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch, who had a career-high 137 yards rushing on 15 carries in the Huskers' 37-0 win against Texas & M, has been named the Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week.
Crouch named Big 12 player of the week
Kansas State linebacker Mark Simoneau and Nebraska rover Mike Brown were selected as codefensive players of the week.
Oklahoma senior wide receiver Jarral Jackson of Houston was named in the weekly media balloting as specialty player of the week.
INDIANAPOLIS — Steve Muhammad of the Indianapolis Colts reportedly was arrested and
Colts' player charged for battering his wife
Investigators say they don't know yet if there's any connection between the alleged battering and Sunday's death of Nicole Muhammad, radio station WIBC reported today. Autopsy results were expected Tuesday.

Methodist Hospital said the 30-year-old woman died at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. The couple's baby was stillborn at 5:10
Mrs. Muhammad said in a police report her husband battered her and her 6-year-old son during an argument at their house, WIBC said. The report said there was no visible sign of injury.

Williamson selected NL Rookie of the Year
NEW YORK — Scott Williamson, not even on the Cincinnati Reds' roster when spring training began, was overwhelmingly elected National League Rookie of the Year today.
BASEBALL
Williamson, 12-7 with a 2.41 ERA and 19 saves, received 17 first-place votes, nine seconds and six thirds for 118 points from a panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Williamson, a starter in his first two professional seasons, was in relief during spring games and survived one cut after another. The 23-year-old right-hander throws a fastball in the upper 90s and a nasty split-finger fastball.
"I achieved a lot of goals this year that I thought would be way down the road," Williamson said.
The American League Rookie of the Year will be announced Tuesday, the NL Manager of the Year on Wednesday, and the AL Manager of the Year on Thursday. The Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards will be announced next week.

Detroit Red Wings skating on thin ice
DETROIT — Reports that Detroit Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman, captain Steve Yzerman and forward Martin Lapointe abused two cameras during a game in Tampa Bay are being investigated by the National Hockey League.
Bowman allegedly shoved a cameraman into a stage manager and yelled obscenities, Yzerman tried to grab a camera during the third period of the Red Wings' 3-2 loss Sunday night, and Lapointe threatened and spit at a cameraman, according to reports in the Detroit Free Press and Booth Newspapers. The Red Wings did not comment
The Red Wings did not comment on the allegations.
The cameramen said Dan Grossi of NHL Security, who was on the scene, advised them to file complaints with the league. Grossi left the ice Palace before reporters learned of the allegations, as did Bowman, Yzerman and Lapointe, who rushed to catch the team bus.

Women opt to try new offense

said it had been improving steadily.
"It's not easy to learn, but I have seen some good things," Washington said. "They are coming along, and they are really starting to like it. It begins with passing, so we have spent a lot of time working on our passing. When run correctly, this offense is very hard to defend, but when run poorly, it opens us up for a lot of turnovers."
The Jayhawks have spent the week working on the offense against the zone defense that Club Gija runs. Washington said she
hoped to run the triple post against a man defense before the regular season, but she will not have that opportunity against Club Glia.
Kansas is the fifth game in Club Gija's nine-game tour in which it plays Nebraska, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Missouri, Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Tulsa.
Club Gija has accumulated a 1-3 record with its only victory coming against Northern Iowa, 87-71. The team has lost decisively to the other three Big 12 teams, losing 102-51 to Nebraska, 91-62 to Iowa State and 96-50 to Missouri. Club Gija played Kansas State last night.
"We just want to play good teams, but you never know, and the people who work with these teams won't tell you how good they are," Washington said. "From everything we have heard, they sit back in the zone defense, and they aren't sure with the basketball."
Pride said that the team still gained from playing in exhibition contests.
"It's great to finally play someone different in an actual game setting." Pride said. "It will be good for the freshman to get adjusted, and they will give us a different look to test out our offense."

'Hawks wonder 'what if'
Continued from page 1B
while Oklahoma is one of the most improved teams in the NCAA the Sooners haven't had a winning season since 1993 — and is on the verge of its first bowl game in five years.
Next season's schedule probably is easier overall because there is not an extra game against a team like Notre Dame. It won't be easy. Winning six games in the Big 12 is a tall order.
"I don't care what people say.
scheduling is an important part of college football today." Allen said.
For now, the players are just 11,
ing to forget about what's happened
and win the last two games, against
Oklahoma State on Saturday and
Iowa State on Nov.20.
"There's still a lot for us to prove," wide receiver Harrison Hill said. "If we want to move up to the middle of the Big 12, we have to start now and prove ourselves."
