HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 2).
You're a dominant force this year. Others look to you for guidance. You're a good listener and wise counselor, but there's something you may have to learn. It's OK to plan ahead and to vigorously protect your privacy.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Just say "no" to friends who want you to overindulge. You can't afford to squander, even to have a good time. And, truth be told, neither can they.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. All is not well for somebody you care about. You can offer comfort, and that might be enough. A foot rub? A hug? You'll know.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You'd better pack a lunch, because you might not have time to go out. You could get so involved in a fascinating project that you forget about food. Plan ahead.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6. Love is plentiful, but money may be tight. Luckily, you have a natural talent for making a lot out of a little. Besides, you're lucky now.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
It's not quite as easy to get what you want,
but that might just make you more determined.
Don't let them outvote you. Put up a fight and make a good presentation.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Don't get pushed into making a foolish mistake. Don't do something just because it's good for somebody else. Make sure it's good for you, too.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
As you're compiling your lists, don't despair if you don't have a fortune to spend. Make that your excuse to get creative.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Feel like you're not getting anywhere?
Don't struggle or complain. Wait, and
conserve your strength. You may need it
soon, along with your other resources.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Something that has you worried may be a
false alarm. If the plan isn't working the
way you expected, rework the plan.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Leave your money in your pocket or in
your savings account, whichever applies.
You won't need it to have a good time.
And leaving it behind will keep you from
buying something you'd have to take back.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6. Travel isn't such a great idea now. You might even have trouble getting your email through. Allow extra time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. You're making suggestions, but somebody is coming up with reasons to reject them. This game gets old fast. Stop playing and wait for a better time.

Men bowlers place third
By Jeremy Clarkson jclarkson@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
the University of Kansas men's bowling team found much to be thankful for after competing in the National Collegiate Team Match Games tournament in St. Louis over Thanksgiving break.
The men's team finished in third place out of 52 teams. Morehead State University won the tournament, followed by Wichita State University. The women's team finished 28th out of 36 teams.
Coach Mike Fine said this was the best showing a KU bowling team had ever had in this tournament. He said that it was the largest bowling event for the fall semester.
"If you're a major bowling program,you're at this tournament," he said.
The tournament format called for each fiveplayer team to play nine games. Tournament standings were based upon total pinfall, with an additional 50 points awarded for each team defeated in match play. The men's team finished 25-9 in match play throughout the tournament.
The men's team was led by Jesse James, Lawrence senior, who finished in eighth place with a 213.7.

average. Jason Elliott, Salina senior and Kansan designer, finished 10th, with a 213.2 average and Marc D'errico Rochester, NY junior, finished 18th overall, with a 208.2 average.
Despite finishing in 28th place, coach Fine said he was impressed with the performance of the women's team.
"If you're a major bowling program youre at this tournament."
"The women showed more progress than what was actually projected." Fine said.
The KU men's team entered the tournament ranked 12th in the collegebowling.com powerranking system. Fine said when the new polls come out in the next couple of weeks, he expected a significant jump in the standings.
The next competition for both teams will be Dec. 6-7, when the team travels to Moline, Ill., for the Leathorneck Classic tournament.
Boschee enjoys break from game
- Edited by Matt Norton
MINOT, N.D. — At age 22, Jeff Boschee is enjoying his first winter without organized basketball since he was in elementary school.
"It's been nice to walk into practice every day and not get yelled at," Boschee said. "I still work out with the team, but it's stress-free ... nice and relaxing."
Boschee, a native of Valley City, N.D., ended his college basketball career at Kansas when the Jayhawks lost 97-88 to Maryland in the NCAA Division I Final Four last March. After that, he said, he wanted to get away from basketball for a while.
The Associated Press
"I didn't touch a basketball all summer," he said.
Boschee said he continues to work out with the Jayhawks in hopes of launching a professional basketball career. He is finishing his final semester of college at KU.
He sat down with Mark Horvath, an author from Maryville, Ind., to write a book, "Long Shot: Beating the Odds to Live a KU Dream."
"I'd like to play for a few years, whether it's overseas or I get picked up here," he said. "My goal, though, is to be a college coach someday. I've learned so much from coach Williams. He's a guy who has taught a lot of college coaches."
We're watching the KU game against UNC, and Aaron Miles' deltoids are seriously huger than all of my girlfriends' boobs and mine combined, and there's five of us in the room combined. Amazing.

Yes, I was just wondering, is it just me, or can Graves, a.k.a. Dreds, play? Um, I don't think so.
And also the little freshman, Moody, he is so precious. I enjoy him.

I just read my own quote in the Sports Free for All about our loss to Ball State last year, and it sounded a little derogatory and slanderous. So let's just never speak of it again.
Did everybody see the guy at the basketball game on Friday with his head painted like a basketball? Basketball heads are hot.
-
38-0. Wow, Mizzou sucks.
-
Even though I like basketball heads, my guy friend thinks that the girl that was painting the guy's head like a basketball at the game on Friday is hotter than fire.
-
Aaron Miles totally looks like Rudy Huxtable.
-

-
Yeah, I went to the K-State/MU game yesterday, and they both still suck.
-
This information telling you how to avoid having to get back into your dorm when there's a basketball game. You ought to be at home watching the basketball game, anyway. Why are you out and about? Stay home where you belong. A basketball game is on.
I wanna give props to the intramural program at KU for getting outscored 561 to 110 at the regional flag football tournament in Lincoln, Neb.

Roy Williams' coaching is as bad as William Shatner's acting ability.
-
This is for the people that call in about the basketball and football players. They're in the top two percent of all the athletes in the nation, and if any of you are in that top two percent, let the criticism begin.
图
To all those people who are knocking on Roy Williams for choking in the big games, here are some stats for you. Mike Krzyzewski took 16 years to win the first championship, Dean Smith took 21 years, and the Maryland coach that beat us last year, it took him 23 years. So next time you start knocking on Roy, look at the stats before you do, and don't knock on him.

KANSAS FOOTBALL
Whittemore named Big 12 offensive newcomer of year
Kansas junior quarterback Bill Whitmore was named Big 12 Conference offensive newcomer of the year by Big 12 coaches last week.
Whittemore completed 151-of-305 passes for 1,666 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was the team's second-leading rusher with 549 yards, and also scored 11 rushing touchdowns. His 22 total touchdowns are a Kansas record.
He averaged 246.1 total yards per game — fourth best in the conference — before missing the final three games because of a knee injury. He is the third Jayhawk to win this award. Other winners were John Mosier (1967) and Kerwin Bell (1980).
Ten Jayhawks named to All-Big 12 academic teams
Seven members of the Kansas football team were named to the academic all-Big 12 first team and three Jayhawks were named to the second team by conference officials last week.
Zach Dyer, Barry Goodrich, Justin Henry, Jake Letourneau, Derick Mills, Travis Watkins and Darren Rus were named to the first team, and Johnny Beck, John Harvey and Brandon Lacy were named to the second team.
This is the third time Letourneau has been an all-Big 12 selection.
Student-athletes must have a 3.2 grad-point average or better for firstteam selection and a 3.0 to 3.19 GPA for second-team selection.
KANSAS SWIMMING
Amy Gruber named swimmer of month II in conference
Kansas sophomore Amy Gruber was named Big 12 Conference female swimmer of the month II for the final two weeks of November.
Two swimmers and two divers were selected for the honor last month because the majority of fall swim meets occur in November.
Gruber placed second in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events at the 2002 Nike Cup Invitational on Nov.21 through Nov.23.
