HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Oct. 27).
This year you're powerful and smart. In October, use those brains to avoid repeating a mistake you made before. Funnel your money into a safe place in December. Let go of the past in February. Your home takes on a new look. You can overpower a partner in May, but should you? Maybe what he or she says is right. Keep your treasure stashed away in June. Travel back to a favorite place instead of going to a new one in July. Your friends look for guidance in September. Provide it.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
The problems aren't solved yet, but at least you know what they are. Don't jump whenever you discover a new one, OK? It's making the troops nervous. Take a clue from your noblest adversary. Never let anyone see you sweat.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
Put as much of this paycheck as you can into your savings. You'll feel better with a fat nest egg. You've worked hard and done a good job. Once your chores are through, take a break. Let somebody else take care of you for a while.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You'd like to do other things, but work takes precedence. Even if you finish it, more is coming.
Postpone travel for a couple of days. If you work tomorrow, could you get Monday off? Ask.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
Passions run high. Keeping a lid on your emotions may be difficult. You may be tempted to bust your budget, too. That will work only if both of you decide it's a good idea. Actually, even then, it's not.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Give domestic matters top priority. Somebody at home may be trying to tell you something.
Unfortunately, it's not an easy thing to say. If you're patient, it will come out. That will be better for everybody — eventually.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
A new trick you try is liable to fail miserably. Be cautious. Work with a net, a drop cloth and maybe even a parachute. Don't bet too much on a new techno-gadget, either.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Lora (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
The temptation to spend all of your money on a loved one could be overwhelming. You've come up with all kinds of reasons, but hold off. What you have in mind could do more harm than good. Your heart's in the right place; just leave it at that.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 4.
You may be in a nasty mood today, especially if you have a household breakdown. Counsel yourself to be patient even if it's inconvenient. This may work out for the best, but not for a couple of days.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Good thing you're lucky and cute. And smart. And willing to take coaching. And willing to dump what doesn't work in favor of what does. And spiritually advanced. And quick. Expect surprises.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 1) **TODAY** is a **G**. Hold onto your wallet, even when approached for a worthy cause. Ask what percentage actually goes to the charity. Sometimes it's not much. If the person is persuasive and persistent, it's OK to just hang up.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 4.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Aquarius Jan. 26-18. Today
Your dilemma isn't resolved yet. Don't get into a tizzy. You'll wear yourself out. A scheduling conflict could complicate your personal life, too. You might choose to go home and to bed early — with a nightcap. And a teddy bear.
(1924, Jan 19; 39-March 20) — Today is a 5.
An outing may be delayed, and that's just fine. It wouldn't turn out as well as you'd hoped, anyway.
You need more familiarity before you try something wildly different. Slow, easy and later is better. So what's the rush?
TENNIS
Jayhawks to end fall at Team Championships
The Kansan men's tennis team will culminate its fall season Sunday at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Region V Team Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The Jayhawks enter the Championships as the second seed out of four teams and will face third-seeded Oklahoma State on Sunday morning. The winner of that match moves on to face either top-seeded Indiana State or fourth-seeded Tulsa
KANSAS
TENNIS
Winning on Sunday won't be an easy task. Last year the Jayhawks settled for second place after losing to Indiana State in
the finals. They may get a second crack at the Sycamores in the finals this year if they can get past the Cowboys, a team Kansas defeated in the Big 12 Conference Championships last spring in the first round.
A victory this weekend would place the team in the National Team Indoor Championships from Feb. 15 to 18 in Seattle and give them a shot at breaking into the Top 30 of national rankings.
"I think we're very capable of winning the team championship, and I know our players feel the same way," coach Ross Nwachukwu said. "Our work is cut out for us, and we're ready to do it. This is our chance to get into the Top 30 nationally, and if we win this championship, we could move up in the rankings."
Each round of the championships consists of six singles matches and three doubles matches. A point is awarded for winning two out of three doubles matches and for each singles victory.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Elvis Grbac pronounced himself "100 percent" yesterday after going through a full practice following an elbow injury Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
Coach Gunther Cunningham said he also was impressed with Grbac's workout and he would start at Seattle on Sunday.

NFL
Grbac was hurt on the Chiefs' last play of the third quarter Sunday. The injury was initially reported as a right elbow contusion, but X-rays on Sunday proved negative, and an MRI on Monday showed the injury to be only a bruise.
Warren Moon, the 43-year-old backup who has said this is his last year, finished up the 54-34 victory against the Rams and would have started if Grbac couldn't play. Moon was 3-for-3 for 78 yards in relief of Grbac, helping the Chiefs give the Rams their first loss.
Grab workd out sparingly Wednesday, but went through the full practice yesterday and said he was fit. Cunningham said Grab had good velocity on his passes.
Pittsburg State QB iniured in car accident
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
PITTSBURG, Kan. — Lateef Walker, starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh State football team, was critically injured in a traffic accident early yesterday that also left a teammate with injuries.
Walker, 22, was a passenger in a car that left a city street at high speed, went into a ditch and struck a light pole before landing upside down, police reported.
Walker was thrown from the car and suffered critical injuries. Walker, the driver and another passenger were all taken to Mt. Camel Medical Center, and Walker was later flown to St. John's
Regional Medical Center in Joplin, Mo.
Regional Medical Center in Jopin, Mo. Walker remained in critical condition early Thursday afternoon.
The cause of the accident was still under investigation.
The police report said the driver, Paul C. McStallworth, 29, also of Pittsburgh, had only minor injuries. Passenger Quentin L. Turner, 22, a junior from Norman, Okla., and defensive back for the Gorillas, was in serious condition yesterday at Mt. Camel.
NBA
JaRon Rush likely to sign with Kansas City Knights
Walker, a junior from Jesup, Ga., came to Pittsburg State after a season with North Dakota State University. An option quarterback, he has led the Gorillas, ranked No. 17 in NCAA Division II, to a 6-2 record going into tomorrow's game against Missouri-Rolla.
Rush spent Wednesday afternoon visiting with Knights coach Kevin Pritchard, a former Kansas player, and general manager Tom Cheatham. It was a chance to clear the air and chart a course for the new team.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — JaRon Rush wants a chance to fulfill his dream of playing in the NBA.
The first step toward that dream will be stepping on the court for the Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association.
"I feel this is a great opportunity to come back to Kansas City and play and let my fans, who are still in Kansas City, come and see me play again," Rush said.
Cheatham did not confirm Rush would soon be under contract, though a decision is thought to be likely early next week.
Pritchard said he was willing to give Rush a second chance.
Rush, 21, left UCLA after his sophomore season. The 6-foot-7 forward did not get drafted by the NBA.
