2B Quick Looks Friday December 4,1998 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Dec. 4). Partnership proves profitable this year. Start by making friends with a person you used to find really irritating. By February, looks like you're ready to take on a new chore. You'll learn quickly. In March, you're lucky, but change is required. You could move to a much nicer place. In April, an old romance is best. As you clean up old misunderstandings, you discover new love. In June, join forces with a person you love to hate. Aries: Today is a 6. There's a lot going on, and you are about to fall in a heap. Steer yourself closer to home before that happens. That's the best place for you to be this week end. You'll still be active in making lots of changes. You'll probably be physically active, too. Taurus: Today is a 5. Shop carefully today. You only want to get the most practical, longest-lasting product and best possible deal you can find. If you wait until this evening or tomorrow to shop, you'll be more willing to go out of your way for a good bargain. You're very sharp and highly admired. You might even be admired highly enough to ask for a raise in pay, and get it. You'll have to assure someone that you can do what you're promising. Make sure you have a plan to carry through on what you say. Cancer: Today is a 5. You're feeling more powerful and decisive. You're going to let people know what they can and can't do — nicely, of course. You're tired of being stomped on, and you're not going to let it happen. When you come out strong, people respect you more. Leo: Today is a 6. Although your heart is strongly pulled in one direction, the rest of you has to be somewhere else. There's something that has to be done, and there's no way to wiggle out of it. That's OK. The love you share with this person will be there. Virgo: Today is a 5. Somebody's pushing you to do something you don't want to do. Your muscles for resisting this kind of pressure should be getting stronger. As you stand up for yourself, others treat you with more respect. Pretty soon they don't even try to push you around. Libra: Today is a 4. You want to try something you've never done. On the other hand, you still have things on your schedule that you've done before and that you do on a regular basis. You don't get to give up any of the old stuff, but you'll be able to add to your schedule. Scorpio: Today is a 6. You're getting more comfortable with your financial status, and you know there are more opportunities if you make the effort. That's not difficult for you, since your energy level is so high. Sagittarius: Today is a 6. You and another person have an important decision to make about money and how you're going to spend it. While the money belongs to both of you, you've got the most at stake, as well as the best ideas. You've got more information, more of a vision. Capricorn: Today is a 4. Don't stress about the job you're doing right now. The cavalry's coming to the rescue. Someone who can handle work you find difficult is just waiting for you to give the signal. It may even be several people. Aquarius: Today is a 6. You have work to do, but you'd rather play with your friends. This is awful. People are noticing that you're not the scholarly intellectual you make yourself out to be. No, you're just a fun-loving person who'd rather be goofing around. Don't worry, it'll all work out. Pisces; Today is a 5. You're pulled in three different directions, and wishing you could clone yourself. Well, you can compromise. By moving more quickly than usual, you can get two or three things done instead of one, and that should give you time this evening for romance. UNLV names new coach, hopes to revamp team LAS VEGAS — John Robinson is returning to college football as UNLV's coach. SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES Robinson was to be officially announced as UNLV's coach yesterday after agreeing to a three-year deal at a reported $375,000 a year. The former Southern California coach flew to Las Vegas Wednesday to talk with UNLV officials and finalize the deal for the vacant job. Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only. Robinson, 63, declined to discuss the job after emerging from his meeting, but earlier he said he was looking forward to building a program at Las Vegas. Earlier, he compared the rebuilding of UNLV's program to Kansas State. which is unde- tected this year. "I think they're going to make a real effort to upgrade the program, "Robinson said. "That has nothing to do with me; I think that's just a fact. And I think it's one of those places where one would evaluate and say, 'Boy, could they do what Kansas State did?' And Las Vegas would be one of those areas (that could)." The UNLV job became after afteriring Jeff Horton, whose team won only four games in the past three seasons and has lost 16 straight. Robinson, with two tenures as Southern Cal's coach and one with the Los Angeles Rams, would bring credibility to the UNLV program, which will open play next year in the new Mountain West Conference. Robinson was fired by Southern Cal following the 1997 season, after going 12-11 during the previous two years. Overall, in 12 years at Southern Cal, he was 104-35-4. In between his two stints, Robinson Robinson is known as a strong recruiter and his strong ties to the Southern California area would be a natural fit in trying to recruit players to UNLV. Many current UNLV players are from the Los Angeles area. coached the Rams for nine years, going 79-74 and reaching the NFC championship game twice. Falcons' quarterback scheduled to return SUWANEE, Ga. — Ten days of rest did wonders for Chris Chandler's sprained right sprained ne ankle. Though his foot was heavily taped, Chandler returned to practice Wednesday "Not doing anything for basically 10 days is what one of these (injuries) needs," he said after going through the two-hour practice without any noticeable problems. "I would think, barring anything strange happening in the next few days, it should be good enough to play," he said. "I just got to avoid waking up the next day and having a setback like I did last week, but I don't see that happening." Chandler sustained the high ankle sprain Nov. 22 against Chicago and sat out last week's 21-10 victory against St. Louis. The Falcons (10-2) meet Indianapolis (2-10) Sunday at the Georgia Dome. and said he expected to play this weekend for the first-place Atlanta Falcons. Chandler sustained a similar injury last season against Denver. The Falcons had a bye the following weekend and he was able to start two weeks later, throwing a touchdown pass in a victory against New Orleans. quarterback against the Rams, but he would not have been able to play even if needed. After Tony Graziani started, 44-year-old Steve DeBerg came on in the second half to rally the Falcons from a 7-3 deficit. Chandler dressed as the emergency "We were not hitting or moving or anything," Reeves said. "But I was pleased with the way he looked. He looked better than I thought he would." Coach Dan Reeves was optimistic Chandler would be able to play against the Colts, especially after watching him in practice. Chandler's passes were strong and accurate, and he showed no hint of his injury when dropping back to throw. "If he looked like that (on Sunday), he would definitely go." Reeves said. Chandler, a Pro Bowl selection last season and the NFL's sixth-rated quarterback this year, has directed the Falcons to an averaged of 27.1 points per game, tied for fourth in the league. Last week marked the first time in two years that Atlanta won a game he didn't play Cecil Fielder hopes to return to Detroit DETROIT — Cecil Fielder says he wants to return to the Detroit Tigers released last season by the Anaheim Angels, but not wanting to retire, the 35-year-old Fielder is hoping to land a job for 1999, and his former club in Detroit is one place he is looking. "We haven't told him no," Tigers general manager Randy Smith said Wednesday. "I'd say there's a chance." Smith said if the Tigers do take a look at Fielder, he would be invited to spring training. "At this point, we can't tie up a roster spot." Smith said. neider earned a World Series ring, with the Yankees in 1997 but had his most productive years with the Tigers, who signed him out of Japan before the 1990 season. His 51 home runs in 1990 were the most by a Tiger since Hank Greenbent's 58 in 1938. Before being released by the Angels last year, he hit .233 with 17 homers and 68 RBIs. He also played briefly for Cleveland. Openly disgruntled at the direction in which the Tigers were headed, Fielder was traded to the Yankees in 1996 after climbing to fifth place on the Tigers' career list with 245 home runs. BOULDER, Colo. — The Colorado Buffaloes will be planting their feet in the real thing next year. Natural grass to replace Buffaloes' artificial turf University of Colorado officials are replacing the artificial tuff at Folsom field with natural grass beginning next year. They plan to sign a contract this month for construction of a heated irrigation system under Folsom Field. Grass will be planted next spring after graduation. The department will spend about $2.6 million on the project, with about $2.15 million coming from capital reserves and the rest raised through corporate sponsorships, said CU Athletic Department spokesman Dave Plati.
