2B • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- SPORTS IN BRIEF 32 FRIDAY, FEB. 1,2002 HOROSCOPES Todav's Birthday (Feb 1). Today's Birthday (Reel 1) Have you thought about publishing a book? Traveling the world? Making wonderful scientific discoveries? All of this and more can be yours this year. Expand your horizons. Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. Even with Mercury in retrograde, you're clicking right along. You're pushing a big project through. Others benefit more than you do from this, except in terms of satisfaction. That's your reward, and it'll be generous. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You could do well financially now, but it's not easy. Getting into work mode is your first challenge. You'd rather play, but that doesn't appear to be a viable option. You're supremely practical. Do what needs to be done. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 10. They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step, but it actually begins before that. It begins with a fantasy that turns into a plan. After that comes the step. Get going. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5. Cancer is the sign of the millionaire. You have a natural talent for doing business, but it also takes a lot of work. You'll have patience for details involving other people's money, so hide out somewhere and study. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. Hand over the reins to a smart person who can take care of you right now. Don't argue or try to maintain control. You'll become much stronger if you accept the coaching. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5. There's too much work, but luckily it could earn you lots of money this time. Your full attention is required, but perfection is always your goal. Keep at it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today is a 9. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today is a 5. Are you in love? Are you and your special mate going somewhere special this weekend? Doesn't look like there's much in your way — except for your job. Do it fast, then get outa there! Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5. There's plenty to keep you busy at home the first part of this month. Are you moving or doing a major renovation? Setting up an office or laboratory in your basement? Any or all of the above would be perfect. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8. You're pretty smart, and you have some very intelligent friends. One of them seems to be trying to teach you something. It's complex, but you're learning. If this friend is also your partner, so much the better. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5. You can make a lot of money now. The paperwork is somewhat of a problem, but a creative idea could actually work. Provide what an older person wants. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 10. Do you have plans to travel this weekend? How long would it take you to make plans? Grab your toothbrush, a credit card and a fascinating companion and then get going right away! Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5. You could borrow more to get what you want, but is that really wise? The better plan is to save up for it and pay cash. You can negotiate a discount instead of paying interest. Kentucky football receives three-year probation term LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football was hit hard by the NCAA on yesterday when it was placed on three years of probation for recruiting violations. The Associated Press The Wildcats, cited by the NCAA for more than three dozen recruiting violations, were banned from a bowl game next season and must forfeit a total of 19 scholarships during the next three years. years. "This is an embarrassment to the university. It's an embarrassment to our fans and it's an embarrassment to the athletic department," Larry Ivy, Kentucky athletic director said. "It's something we wish hadn't happened and something we hope never happens again." never happens again. Kentucky can sign only 16 of a possible 25 recruits for next season (signing day is Tuesday). 18 the following season and 22 in 2004. During the probation, the Wildcats can only have a total of 80 players on scholarship — five under the 85-player limit. Former recruiting coordinator Claude Bassett was also effectively banned from working at an The bowl ban was the first the NCAA's committee on infractions has levied against a Division I program since Miami was kept from the postseason seven years ago. NCAA school for the next eight yeare "I don't know how much damage is going to be done to the program," Kentucky coach Guy Morris said. "The first thing I want to do is walk across the street and talk to our players. Then we have to look at what we can do to salvage this new recruiting class." The Wildcats were 2-9 last year, including 1-7 in The Southeastern Conference. The violations were committed from 1998 to 2000 during the tenure of Hal Mumme, who resigned as coach under pressure last February. Mumme was charged with failure to monitor the program, but was not given any individual sanctions. The Wildcats' basketball program was banned from playing in the NCAA tournament in 1989 and 1990 because of numerous recruiting violations, including the mailing of cash to a recruit's home. Tyson looks to fight Lewis in LA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Mike Tyson will apply for a license to fight heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis at Staples Center this spring, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday. Shelly Finkel, Tyson's manager, told the newspaper that the fighter would like to challenge Lewis at the Los Angeles venue. Tyson lost his bid to fight Lewis in Las Vegas on April 6 when the Nevada State Athletic Commission voted 4-1 Tuesday to deny Tyson a boxing license. Tuesday to deliver your answers The next meeting for the California commission is Feb. 9. "We haven't received anything from Tyson's people requesting licensure," Rob Lynch, executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, said yesterday from his Sacramento office. "It could be pure speculation. It could be gospel. I don't know. The bottom line is he'll have to get four affirmative votes out of the six commissioners to fight in California." Lynch said if Tyson did apply for a license, he had no idea when the commissioners would consider the issue, but added it almost certainly would be at a special meeting and not Feb. 9. Staples officials are intrigued by a Tyson-Lewis matchup, but they know other venues are interested in playing host to the long-anticipated bout. Promoters in South Africa and Denmark stepped forward after the Nevada commission's decision to express interest in the fight. "It's up to the commission," Staples Center president Tim Leiwke told the Times. "Assuming they approve, we would be interested, but it's such a fluid situation right now." a huddle situation in right. Meanwhile, New York state Boxing Commissioner Ray Kelly will abide by Nevada's decision not to reinstate Tyson's license. Kelly told the New York Daily News that Tyson "has acted inappropriately, to say the least" in the past. Kelly, who is also New York City police commissioner, did not immediately return a telephone call.
