HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 6). If at first you don't succeed, try another tactic. Don't take a risk with your savings in October or November, either. The money's coming in, but it sure can slip through your fingers fast in December. In February, stick with what you've got, even if it's not what you want. By March you and a loved one will find new options. The old-fashioned ways work best in May, and you might strike it rich from an old well around June. It's a win by July; you've worried enough by then. Count your blessings and give thanks in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 5.
Expect confusion and change relating to money. You could experience a financial loss regarding an overseas deal or the purchase of an import. Turn this potential loss into profit by heeding an older person's advice.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7.
Your plans with friends could go awry. If you're stubborn enough to keep going, you may still achieve your goals. The longer you hang on, the more likely you are to get what you want.
Semini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 5.
You're generally lucky, but don't push your luck now. An annoying co-worker is probably right. Do whatever needs to be done and cooperate with everyone. Share your feelings and stand up for your rights some other time.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Todav is an 8.
Even though things go wrong for others, you'll land buttered side up. Trust your intuition in a difficult situation. It could help you get around a traffic jam or a log jam, and that could save you lots of time and money.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6.
You may want something special for your home, but take care. Do a lot of shopping if other people's money is involved. That includes the bank's. Everybody's telling you what to do, but you're the one who has to live with your decision.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7.
16-29, 3-17, 22 - Today is a 7.
Friends might steer you in the right direction, and you need all the help you can get. Should you work more? Spend more? Play or study? Maybe you should forget it all and take a bike tour of Europe.
Wanna know what to do? Ask your mom.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 5.
Work interferes with travel today and might even keep you from going to lunch with a dear friend.
Do errands another time, too. You should make big bucks, though, and that makes it all worth while.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8.
If you're worried enough about losing money, you may try to make some, instead. You could turn a tidy profit today, through a combination of skill and luck. Yes, you might have to pull a few strings.
You're good at that.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8.
This is a hectic day at work. Everybody's trying out new ideas, most of which don't work. Before you waste more time, consult a person who he's been here before. Experience pays. Use somebody else's
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 5.
Your first suggestion may not work, and your second idea could flop, too. Instead of getting depressed, ask for input. A person who's been nagging at you might be right. Let go of foolish pride and do what works.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 5.
A fool and his or her money are soon parted.
Don't let that be you today. Don't make a loan that
will never be repaid. Stop pouring money down a
hole. It's OK if you end up with some in your pocket.
That isn't cheating.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7.
Everybody may demand a lot from you, but you're not alone. A far-away friend is feeding you helpful information. It's like having your own teleprompter. Don't be scared, even if the stakes are high. The odds are in your favor.
Junior guard John Crider was the only Jayhawk who didn't play Saturday night — fueling rampant rumors that he plans to transfer.
KU BASKETBALL
Williams denies rumors that Crider will transfer
Crider: was the only Jayhawk not to play Saturday.
Sull, Kansas coach Roy Williams insisted Crider wasn't going anywhere.
"I just chose not to play him," he said, when pressed for an explanation at the post-game press conference.
But when a small group of reporters pestered him afterward for
further explanation, Williams grew more defensive,
"I stated it before, I just didn't feel like playing him," he said. "As far as you know, I could have chosen not to play him because he spilled steak sauce on my pants, or something like that. If something happens, I'll let you know."
A Horton native, Crider is the only in-state scholarship player on the Jayhawk roster. He was not available for comment after the game.
Decisions imminent for Kansas recruits
Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 forward/guard from Crowley, Texas, sat behind the Kansas bench Saturday night and smiled when the fieldhouse faithful started chanting, "We want Langford."
There was no official word on a Langford commitment as of late Sunday night, even though it was rumored his commitment to Kansas was imminent.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be
read for entertainment purposes only.
Meanwhile, another Jayhawk recruit, 6-foot guard Aaron Miles of Portland, Ore., has scheduled a press conference for 1.
The return of five starters and coach Roy Williams wasn't enough to place Kansas atop the first ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll released Thursday night.
Arizona received a verbal commitment yesterday from Chicago's 5-10 point guard Will Bynum, opening the door for Miles' commitment to Kansas.
Duke, which knocked Kansas out of the NCAA Tournament last season, returns four starters and is ranked second in the poll. Stanford checked in at third; North Carolina, fresh off a surprising run to the 2000 Final Four, is ranked fourth; and defending national champion Michigan State came in fifth.
Arizona got the nod for the top spot for the second time in four years. The Wildcats feature star senior forward Loren Woods and return all five starters from last season's 27-7 team.
The Jayhawks are just behind the Spartans at sixth in the poll. Maryland, Tennessee, Illinois and Seton Hall round out the top ten.
The only other team in the poll from the Big 1.2 Conference is Iowa State, which is ranked No. 23. Fellow conference teams Missouri, Oklahoma State and Texas received votes in the poll but will begin the season unranked.
p. m. today to announce whether he will attend Kansas or Arizona.
Jayhawks place sixth in early coaches' poll

'Hawks beat Wildcats in fall's last regatta
ROWING
The Kansas rowing team beat Kansas State 15-11 for its second straight Sunflower Showdown victory Saturday at Burcham Park.
Saturday, the Wildcats finished with a 6-minute, 41.6 time, roughly four seconds ahead of the Jayhawks (6:45.7), K-State had a four-seat lead on Kansas for most of the race.
Still, some Jayhawks weren't exuberant after the regatta. The first varsity eight boat lost to Kansas State for the first time since April 1998.
The 'Hawks had won four straight in that event, twice in both fall and spring seasons.
Kansas had victories in five events; the second varsity eight (5 points), first novice eight (5), varsity four (3), novice four (1) and the third novice eight (1).
Although her boat couldn't put more icing on the Kansas cake, first varsity coxswain Jen Page said her boat's loss would motivate her rowers.
The Sunflower Showdown was a change of pace for both teams. Fall seasons primarily consist of three-mile head regattas with winding curves. Saturday's race was a 2,000-meter sprint race, identical to spring racing, when the NCAA championships occur.
Kansas coach Rob Catthot said he saw the regatta as an opportunity to improve the rowers' technique and gain experience.
"Our loss just makes us work that much harder, Page said. "Everybody will be thinking about it all winter long."
The Sunflower Showdown was the last regatta of the fall season for Kansas.
TENNIS
- Shawn Linenberger
Two Jayhawk singles players and two doubles teams advanced to the third round of the tournament, and the doubles team of junior Cheryl Malliaiah and senior Monica Sekulov advanced to the finals of the consolation bracket.
The Kansas women's tennis team ended its fall season Saturday in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional Championships at the Hanscom Indoor Tennis Center in Omaha, Neb.
Tennis players make third round in last meet
After a second-round victory against Brigham Young's Lindsay Ferrell, 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-4. Mallaina was eliminated by a
third round loss to fourth-seeded Alena Jeinkimov of Kansas State, 6-2, 6-1
Also on the singles side, junior Sekulov advanced to the third round before losing to the third seed, Alexsandra Durska of Tulsa, 6-2, 6-4.
No Kansas doubles team made it past the third round. Freshman Emily Haylock and sophomore Kim Lorenz pulled off a second-round upset against 11th-seeded Cassie Kasteler and Brooke Wilkinson of Utah, 8-6. But they couldn't overcome the eighth-seeded Melissa Mendieta and Viviana Mracnoca of Oklahoma, falling 9-7 in the third round.
Brandon Stinnett
The women's team received a pair of victories from sophomore Beth Schryer in the 500 and 1,000 freestyle events but lost to the Tigers 170-130. The men's team also got two victories from sophomore Brian Soria and swept the 500 and 1,000 freestyles, but also lost 181-119.
Three juniors also pulled in victories for the women. Junior Sarah Holke won the 200 butterfly, junior Carrie Kirchman captured the 100 free title and junior Rebecca McFall won the one-meter springboard competition.
The Kansas swimming and diving team had several impressive individual performances but came up short as a team against Missouri on Saturday in Columbia, Mo.
"We had a hard week of training and really came out and raced, but Missouri just had a better day," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burgess. "We won five events and did well really in the distance races, but you need to win more than five events to win a dual meet."
