HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 19).
Today's Birthday (Nov. 19).
You're awesome this year. You'll quickly and effectively use what you know. What you don't know now, you'll learn. Manage your resources carefully. The money will tend to come in big lumps. Save what you can for the lean times. Somebody at home is pushing you to take action. That's uncomfortable sometimes, but it
keeps you going. You're empowered! Think BIG!
Ares (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5.
Others have something to offer. Can you sit
still long enough to let them bring it to you?
Can you let go of your own agenda for a
while? Take time to listen.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. Somebody else is calling the shots and making the decisions. How can you gain more respect? Get more education! This doesn't necessarily mean going back to college. You can learn a lot through books, tapes and seminars.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. The trend continues. Wise shopping puts more money in your pocket. It's like that all the time, but even more so right now. The information is available. Ask a co-worker.
Cancer (June 22-July 22), Today is a 9.
This is a wonderful day for signing contracts, entering into new partnerships and getting married. True, it's a good day for doing business, but there's a strong sense of romance, especially for you. Schedule accordingly.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5. Proceed with caution. All is not as it appears, and your worst fears could be giving you a clue. Think about what you want least, then take measures to prevent it from happening. Watch your diet, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is an 8.
Take the skills you've acquired as a volunteer and use them in a business setting.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5. You're starting to gain more recognition, but is it interfering with your private life? You're the expert at finding a healthy balance. Right now, that might mean stealing a few private moments before getting back into the fray.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
New information helps push you toward success. This new data or skill gives you just the boost you need. Don't procrastinate. If you haven't found anything helpful yet, keep looking!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
Want to make a wise investment? Buy food. Stock in food producers, grocery stores and restaurants should do well, too
Start with a trip to the discount market.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. Nobody promised you a rose garden, but you could win a horseshoe made of roses or a bouquet with a dozen long-stemmed roses. You're headed for the victory circle, so don't let up. The next few days make the difference.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. You're a take-charge person, which is obvious right now. You're not only powerful, but you're empowering. You're giving someone else the confidence to shine.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8.

minutes of play. Geoffroy contributed 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting while dishing out five assists and blocking three shots.
"Coach has been stressing jumping and boxing out and at least getting a body on people," she said. "That's really been helping me because rebounding has never been my strong point."
Kansas coach Marian Washington said she was impressed by Geoffroy's determination on Friday.
"She definitely didn't get discouraged," Washington said. "In fact, you could see her as time went on starting to settle in and taking her time. I was really pleased to see how effective she was on the block."

Senior guard KC Hilgenkamp and Sharonne Spencer joined Geoffroy in reaching double figures with 15 and 11 points respectively. Ten Kansas players scored for the Jayhawks. Washington said her team would need to count on scoring contributions from more than a few players this season.
"We've been concerned about where we're going to score, but we found a lot of people doing some good things." Washington said. "We're going to have to get points from a lot of players."
Spencer showed flashes of her scoring potential in the second half, coming off the bench and sparking the Jayhawk offense with four buckets and two free throws.
"Obviously, Sharonne came off the bench and did a nice job, so there's no question I'm going to look to her and see if she can maintain that," Washington said.
One of her baskets gave Kansas its largest lead of the game at 69-52.
Geoffroy said she believed that potential was developing in each of her players.
"Those who haven't stepped up yet, we're still waiting on them, we're still working on them, but

respect as they need to. That's the reason I'm more concerned about them."
Returning four starters from last season's 18-12 team, the Cardinals head into this season with a chance at the Mid-American Conference Championship. That means the Jayhawks will need to defeat three quality teams in three consecutive nights to win the Mau championship.
But Kirk Hinrich said the task was achievable.
the line that dates back to 1990. Both streaks could be in jeopardy this week, especially now with the knee injury to freshman forward Wayne Simien, who will be on the sidelines for two to four weeks.
"When we go to Maui, I want to win it," Hinrich said. "It will take a great effort all three nights if we're going to do this. Our first challenge is Ball State, and it's our first game. We're obviously very excited about that, and we should be ready to play."
In Hinrich's first two seasons, Kansas won its regular season opening tournaments. Kansas won the Great Alaska Shootout two seasons ago and the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic last year. Kansas also has a 36-game November winning streak on
Williams said earlier in the week that he would experiment with lineups in practice with sophomore swingman Bryant Nash seeing significant time at power forward, as a back up to junior forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
Nash could be the determining factor for Kansas' front-court depth this week if the two get into foul trouble. If Nash, who played power forward in high school but never in collegiate play, would fail to get the job done at power forward, Williams said he would go to a variety of lineups, perhaps even playing four guards at the same time if needed.

Kansas senior Carrie Kirkham took third place out of eight with a time of 0.51.40 in the A class, 100-ward freestyle event.
She was followed by freshman Amy Gruber, who finished in 0:51.95.
Junior Beth Schryer's 17:08.45 was good enough for sixth place of 32 in the 1,650-yard freestyle.
The Jayhawks' next meet is scheduled for Dec. 7 at Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL K-State's Scobey scores twice, ties mark for 100-yard games
Kansas State 40, Louisiana Tech 7
MANHATTAN — Josh Scobey ran for
113 yards, scored two second-half
touchdowns and passed the 1,000-yard
rushing mark as Kansas State beat
Louisiana Tech 40-7 on Saturday.
Both of Sobey's touchdown sweeps, a 2-yarder and a 16-onchard on fourth-and-1, came early in the third quarter as Kansas State (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) pulled away from a 12-7 halftime lead.
Scobey has 1,089 yards on the season, and his sixth 100-yard game of the year tied a school record set by Isaac Jackson in 1973 and matched by J.J. Smith in 1994.
Louisiana Tech (6-4), which had been scheduled to visit Manhattan on Sept. 15—until the terror attacks of Sept. 11 wiped out that weekend's major college football schedule.

WACO, Texas — Darrent Williams returned interceptions 20 and 85 yards for touchdowns as Oklahoma State beat Baylor 38-22 Saturday, handing the Bears their 29th straight Big 12 loss.
The Cowboys (3-7, 1-6), who had just six interceptions their first nine games, also scored touchdowns after Kirk Milligan intercepted two passes.
It was the first Big 12 victory for Oklahoma State coach Les Miles, who was hired after last season. Baylor (2-8, 0-8), which outgained the Cowboys 517 yards to 323, still hasn't won a conference game under third-year coach Kevin Steele.
Sooners closer to a Big 12 championship game

Oklahoma (10-1, 6-1) needs only a victory at home next Saturday against woeful Oklahoma State to win the South division and earn a spot in the conference title game Dec. 1 at Texas Stadium. The Sooners would play the winner of Friday's Nebraska-Colorado game.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL Knight wins his first debut as Texas Tech defeats Tribe
LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight made an animated, successful return to college basketball Friday, guiding Texas Tech to a 75-55 victory over the William & Mary Tribes.
Knight walked onto the court for his first game in 20 months biting his lip and looking down. He pulled up the right sleeve on his black sweater before tipoff, then stretched his arms in disgust after his team's first possession.
After a mistake on Tech's first offensive possession, Knight stood and barked instructions to point guard Will Chavis when the team went on defense. He gave Chavis more guidance on the next dead ball, too.
The victory made Knight 1-0 on the job for the first time. He lost debuts at Army in 1965 and Indiana in 1971.
