SPORTS IN BRIEF
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 5). As you gain status, sometimes you leave old friends behind. Don't worry: The best of them will always be there for you, and new friends are yet to be met. You'd never have had the chance to know them if you hadn't climbed this far.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Take it slow and easy. Don't let a manipulative person get you riled. Exploding into a fit of rage isn't in your best interest, even if it would be fun. Use the energy for something more productive.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Todav is a 6.
You and your partner need to figure out how divvy up the loot. Make time for a meeting to discuss your options. Make educational materials, or something that makes the job easier, a top priority.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Your job may seem overwhelming. Maybe it's because you feel underappreciated. Change that by doing more than is expected. You'll feel better about yourself and make more money.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
What you need is a plan. Your life will get a lot simpler once you've worked one out. Get a loved one who's a good strategist to help. Do it now, because you'll be too busy over the next few days.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
A personal matter you've been struggling with is about to be resolved to your satisfaction, so don't worry about it any longer. Make the commitment and get on with your life. Follow your heart, of course.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept, 22). Today is a 6.
Virgin (Aug. 25-September, 22) You're in a decisive mood, so you can get a lot done. When in doubt, throw it out.
Clear the decks for action.
Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22). Today is an 8.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nev. 21).Today is a 6.
You've been using good common sense in your shrewd negotiations. By now you should be ready for another break. How about something new? Learn a game you've never played before. Discover more of your natural talents.
You're a good businessperson because you always play to win. That tendency can help you make a few extra bucks now. You're sure to find a buyer for all that stuff you've been saving.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7. Careful financial calculations pay off, leading to new opportunities. Recent successes increase your self-confidence, and experience improves your skills. Try something a little more challenging.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
You're going into a contemplative phase. It'll
last until about Friday or Saturday, when you'll
get a good chance to take action. Be ready so
that you can move quickly when the time comes.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
An older person wants to teach you a thing or
two. Be respectful; this might come in handy.
Later, let friends help you celebrate your
recent victory.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6. Continue with your planning, reorganizing and other preparations. Get ready to make your presentation. An older person may ask you to justify your position. Do so clearly and concisely, and you'll win support.
Rioting, injuries follow high school ball game
The Associated Press
SHARON, Pa. - A crowd turned on police officers attempting to break up a fight at a basketball game between rival schools, slightly injuring at least three officers.
Jesse Wilson, 20, a defensive back for the University of Cincinnati football team, was arrested on aggravated assault and riot charges. Police said more arrests were expected following the Saturday night fight, which involved as many as 100 people.
The fight broke out in a packed gymnasium at Sharon High School with about two minutes remaining in the game between the Sharon Tigers and
"This has been a pretty heated rivalry for about 50 years, but this is the first time we've seen anything of this scale," said Capt. Michael Mester of the Sharon police department.
Officers from five area police departments responded to calls for assistance after the crowd turned on officers, punching and kicking them and grabbing for their guns, he said.
also not aware of any severe injuries to people attending the game."
Police yesterday were conducting interviews and reviewing video of the fight and planned to file petitions in juvenile court if they identify others involved in the fight, Menster said.
the Farrell Steelers.
There were four officers at the game who waded into the crowd to break up a fight, Menster said.
The game was called off and police cleared the gym, but fighting broke out in a different area, and then continued in the emergency room of Sharon Regional Hospital, where some people went for treatment.
Police were called to the hospital to restore order, hospital spokesman Ed Newmeyer said.
"We had several officers injured, but none of the injuries were major," he said. "We are

to get thrown out to try and fire up his team."
Wooldridge was upset that a charge hadn't been called on Nick Collison when he made a layup moments earlier and Siebrandt was knocked to the floor.
Coins, bottle caps, tubes of Chapstik and T-shirts littered the court as Jeff Boschee made three of four foul shots to give Kansas a 77-46 advantage, its largest lead of the game.
Wooldridge said his outrage was a reaction to the nocall and didn't intend to motivate his team by being ejected. But that's what happened.
After Boschee's free
throws, the Wildcats went on a 19-5 run and narrowed the margin to 82-65, the closest they came after intermission.
And then Drew Gooden vented.
Gooden slammed home a two-handed dunk that saw the junior forward hang on the rim for a few extra seconds and curl his feet above the rim.
"I just stuffed the ball and took some frustration out on the rim," he said. "A lot of stuff was going on."
Kansas' next game is at 3 p.m. Saturday against Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse.

"It got pretty nasty out there," said Gooden, who picked up a technical foul late in the contest. "We tried to keep our composition as a team. The game was over, but we try to go all out all the time."
BLOWOUT
Kansas has been dominant the last two weeks, winning by an average of 28.6 points against Missouri, Colorado and Kansas State. The squad's 16.3-point average margin of victory is second only to Oklahoma in the Big 12 this season.
Despite struggling with team focus, having big leads has become a Javawk trend.
