HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
A barrier's in effect. What you want to accomplish is slightly out of reach. You may take a couple of steps backward for each step forward. You're actually learning something useful, so relax
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Things are moving slowly again. The chances of a misunderstanding are high. Do what you can to speak clearly and check to see if the other person heard what you meant. Ask just to make sure.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You are one of the people who may be able to get through. Most won't even try. Your friends are there for you, and you're lucky. Besides, this is your area of expertise. Be patient, though.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
This could be a good day to go over your finances and to do a little planning. An argument with a loved one could force the issue. Don't get into a tiff. Figure out how to make it happen, instead.
A lot of stubborn people are out there, and you're outnumbered. They're even more set on having their way than you are. Listen to what they say. Even if you never agree, you'll learn what they think, and that's useful.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You're smart, and you've been learning quickly. There's a test, and it's a tough one. You may not do as well as you want to, but that's OK. You might not hit perfection, and you could come closer than before. Take what you get and build on it.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You look pretty good. You have more confidence than usual, partially because somebody you care about believes in you. Tackle a tough subject one more time and don't worry if you don't master it. You're chipping away at it, and that counts.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You might need to change or rearrange something at home. Study the problem and try out a couple of ideas. Don't let this get in the way of your work, however. If you forget to do something important, there will be trouble.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
You're smart, and you're learning quickly. You're still under pressure, but you are doing better than you think. Life will get easier soon, so don't be overtaken or overwhelmed. Keep at it!
You are kind of stuck in the middle. You'd like to go play with your friends, but there's too much work to do. You're interested in a community project, too, but that may be just too much. Relax, and you'll come up with another idea.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You're decisive and creative now. You're also inhibited and frustrated. The harder you push, the more solid the resistance becomes. To turn things around, stop pushing there. Settle down and refine your idea instead. Shift your focus to a different target.
You want to step out and try something new. Are your fears in the way? Instead of conquering their practice getting used to them instead. Make friend with them. This may sound silly, but it could work.
BIG 12 SOCCER
SAN ANTONIO — Nebraska outshot Missouri 24-1, scoring twice in less than a 21-1 victory

'Huskers dominate Tigers in championship match
Saturday night for their third Big 12 Conference women's soccer championship in four years.
After a scoreless first half.
Missouri (14-7-1) pulled to within one on Nikki Thole's unassisted goal from 15 yards out. Her shot turned out to be the game's only shot from the Tigers.
Breanna Boyd found the back of the net on a header from six yards in the 71st minute. Fifty seconds later, Nebraska (20-1-1) took a 2-1 lead on Christine Latham's goal off a cross from Jenny Benson.
Nebraska earned the Big 12's automatic bid to the 1999 NCAA Tournament, which will begin Wednesday. It will be the Cornhuskers' fourth straight year in the tournament.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Stern John scored three goals in the second half as the Columbus Crew beat D.C. United 5-1 yesterday in the second game of their best-of-3 series for the
MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Columbus forward gets hat trick during 5-1 win
conference finals. United swept the series in 1997 and beat the Crew in three games last year. United won the MLS Cup Championship in 1996 and 1997, before losing to Chicago last season.
Game three of the series will be played next Saturday in RFK Stadium where United has won all 12 meetings against the Crew all time, including four playoff wins.
The victor will battle the winner of the Los Angeles-Dallas Western Conference final in MLS Cup '99, on Nov. 21 in Foxboro, Mass.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Longhorns' defense stops Cowboys in win
United and the Crew have met in the
STILLWATER, Okla. — Big games from Hodges Mitchell and Major Applewhite are difficult enough for Texas opponents to handle. When the Texas defense also plays well, it can make for a long afternoon.
Oklahoma State found that out Saturday. Mitchell ran for 149 yards and scored three times, including an 80-yard run on the game's first play
Applewhite: Had solid performance in Texas victory
from scrimmage.
Applewhite was his usual solid self and the defense came up with big plays in a 34-21 victory.
No. 11 Texas, 8-2 overall, 5-1 in the Big 12
Conference, limited Oklahoma
State to 84 yards and just 14 points when the outcome was in
question. It also produced a big touchdown when Greg Brown scored on a 31-yard interception return early in the third quarter.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Mike Brown tried to deflect the individual accolades after leading Nebraska's defense in its 37-O shutout of Texas A&M.
Defensive end leads Nebraska in shutout
The senior defensive back wouldn't
even say that his two interceptions, two forced fumbles and nine tackles, including a sack, consisted his best day ever. Brown, however, said he wasn't at

all concerned with individual honors.
"It doesn't matter to me," Mike Brown said. "The only thing that matters to me is how we play on Saturday. That's what I focus on, doing the things the coaches want me to do and what my teammates expect me to do."
Brown did say he thought he did his job Saturday and admitted that it was probably his best game ever on the stat sheet, largely because it was the first time he'd had two interceptions in a game.
Woods plays well again wins tournament in Spain
GOLF
SOTOGRANDE, Spain — Tiger Woods had the right answer for every occasion yesterday in the American Express Championship.
From the highest point at Valderrama Golf Club, he heard the roars for Miguel Angel Jimenez resound in the valley and responded with a chip-in for eagle on hole 11.
Even after his lowest moment, a triple bogy on the 17th that knocked him out of the lead, Woods never lost his cool and kept his mind on the possibility of a playoff.
The result was another victory for Woods, and a question that no one
can answer right now. When will he ever lose?
Woods: Won fourth straight tournament
hoods became the first player since Bengogan in 1953 to win four straight tournaments by capturing the final official PGA Tour event of the year in a playoff against Jimenez. The record for consecutive victories on the PGA Tour is 11, set by Byron
Nelson in 1945, and even that no longer seems untouchable.
RUNNING
Kenyan keeps promise, cruises to marathon win
NEW YORK — Joseph Chebet made a vow before the New York City Marathon.
"If I lose this time, I will never go back to New York," the Kenyan told his coach.
Chebet can come back.
Cheeteb came back. Ending the frustration of two straight second-place finishes, Chebet used a powerful finishing kick Sunday, defeating Portugal's Domingos Castro with a time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, 14 seconds on a cool, windy day.
Cheetb is the first runner to win marathons in Boston and New York in the same year since Alberto Salazar in 1982.
Adriana Fernandez, who also finished second last year, won the women's division by nearly 2 minutes and 30 seconds and became the first Mexican woman to win an international marathon. She was timed in 2:25:06, the second-fastest in the race's history and only 26 seconds behind the record of 2:24:40 set by Australia's Lisa Ondieki in 1992.

Jayhawks acknowledge that kinks remain in defense

Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich.
All three scored in double figures. Gooden scored 12 points and led the team with 12 rebounds, but his most impressive stat was his team-high eight assists, leaving him two assists short of a triple-double.
"I liked Nick Collision's line, with 16 points, and Drew Gooden with 12 points and 12 rebounds," Williams said. "I liked that, and I thought Kirk Hinrich did a good job of running the show when he was out there.
"I was very pleased with their play, but they've really done a good job in practice for us."
Junior guard Kenny Gregory also carried his solid
practice play into Saturday's game. He scored a teamhigh 20 points and added four offensive rebounds.
In the off-season, Gregory spent a lot of time working on the mental aspects of his game, and he said being mentally prepared helped him Saturday night
"At the beginning of the game I wasn't nervous, and I didn't set any goals." Gregory said. "I didn't say I wanted to come out and get 10 points or eight rebounds. I just asked whatever happens, happens, and I just wanted to go out and have fun and that's part of the mental aspect that's helped me in practice and helped me in the game."
Eight Jayhawks scored in double-figures. An injured Lester Earl added eight points and six rebounds in 17 minutes, and Kansas displayed a tenacious, pressing defense and wide-open, fast-pace offense that could become Kansas's signature play.
Although pleasing for an exhibition game, the Jayhawks realize that some kinks remain.
"I think probably the biggest thing we need to improve is our half-court defense and our full-court trap," sophomore guard Jeff Boschee said. "But we got to get up and down, and we were causing turnovers that led to easy lay-ups and that's what we wanted."
Kansas' next game will be Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Its second and final preseason contest will be against a professional team from Australia. The regular season will open the following Friday, Nov. 19, against Fairfield at the fieldhouse.
