2B Quick Looks Tuesday September 30,1997 HOROSCOPES Today's birthday (Sept. 30) Today may start off to be a bad day, but just ignore all of the small problems. Someone you have had your eye on for a long time will take you somewhere special within the next week. Aries: Today is a 6. Taurus: Today is a 7. Take initiative to overcome the clutter that dominates your life. Your budget is not as far out of control as you feared. Why look for a new relationship when you are already in one that works? Gemini: Today is a 5. Understanding a financial rule of thumb gives you the edge in business today. Adopt a healthy attitude toward the accepted patterns of courtship. If you want somebody's love, you may have to get the ball rolling. All of your research will be useless if you cannot make yourself understood to the people who matter most. Changing your presentation has little effect on the substance of your message. The situation begins to improve by late afternoon. Cancer: Today is a 6. Take an active role in harvesting the fruits of your labor. It is easy to be philosophical about money when you have a comfortable life. A practical discussion with a partner turns into a a high-spirited dialogue. Leo: Today is a 6. Positive developments in your romance are nobody's business but your own and your partner's. You feel a shift today, as if sloughing off a psychic layer of dead skin cells. An old habit may be too expensive to continue. Virgo: Today is an 8. Venus enters the picture today, casting your straight-ahead, self-absorbed state in a charming, sexy light. Someone is attracted to you for who you are, not just how you look. Being direct will get you exactly what you want. Libra: Todav is a 5. Your Libran sense of balance paralyzes you until later in the day, when it becomes easier to take action. Be more assertive about your needs. Others will understand that you are taking care of yourself, not simply being rude. Scorpio: Today is a 9. Sagittarius: Today is a 4. Today is an energetic time for you. You have the opportunity to wield great power, and the wisdom to use it for maximum benefit. Plans made later in the day will be both practical and brilliant. Capricorn: Today is an 8. Do not be surprised by a raise, promotion, or big contract today. People will forgive you for telling them how wonderful you are. Celebrate by spending some quality time with a loved one. Push gently and slowly against a solid wall after it begins to move. Dare to hope that a few days of chaos and stupidity are coming to an end. Avoid authority figures later in the day when your feeling of tough invincibility returns. Aquarius: Today is a 7. Hold on tight in case there is some great shift in the balance of powers. Do not be shy about demanding a refund for faulty merchandise or unfulfilled service. Friends are impressed by your mastery of a situation. Pisces: Today is a 5. Make sure that you have not completely misunderstood what you are told. If you are the giving the explanation, spell it out three different ways to avoid confusion. Important decisions become harder the longer they are postponed. SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES KIRKSVILLE, Mo. — On Saturday, the Kansas men's collegiate rugby team lost its match to archrival, Truman State in Kirksville, Mo., 22-15. Truman State is ranked No. 6 in Division I. Kansas started strong and led 10-8 going into the second half. But Kansas was forced to play the entire second half two men short after All-American Dan Karl and rookie South African Eric Van der Werwe were ejected. Archrival rugby match ends in loss for Kansas "We were a better team. It just shows that emotions can take us down," team captain Karl Bhatnagar said. "We were playing with them. We just got into penalty trouble. It wasn't anything we could control." Karl said that the referee, who holds the lowest rating given by the Rugby Union, was on a first-name basis with the Truman players. Wing Ryan Crosby and flanker Van der Werwe both scored trys for the Jayhawks, and fullback Matt Schwartz connected on a penalty and an extra point. Each finished with five points. This year's team, thought to be Kansas' best in more than 5 years, dropped to 7-2. But it could avenge this loss at Saturday's Heart of America tournament at Swope Park in Kansas City if both Kansas and Truman State reach the championship game, as expected. Truman State fly half Dan Grady led all scorers with 15 points. The Kansas B side also lost its match 12-8. —Kansan staff report Major league baseball released its schedule for the first round of playoffs yesterday, and only one NL game is to be telecast on a broadcast network — Game 3 between Florida and San Francisco at 7 p.m. CDT Friday on NBC.

BLAZERS NBA player scores big with largest deal ever PORTLAND, Ore. — Rasheed Wallace has agreed to a six-year contract with the Portland Trail Blazers worth about $75 million to $80 million. The deal is the biggest ever made by the team, a newspaper and a radio station reported yesterday. The contract extension beats a Wednesday deadline that could have allowed the 6-foot-10 Wallace to become a free agent next summer. Wallace is entering the final year of the three-year deal he signed after Washington made him its fourth selection in the 1995 NBA draft. He will make $2.33 million during the 1997-98 season. His new contract, which will average about $13 million per season, will begin with the 1998-99 season and extend through the year 2004. Wallace, who averaged 15.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last year in his second season, is one of the best young players in the NBA.
