2B Quick Looks --- Wednesday November 18, 1998 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Nov. 18). You have looked forward to this year. Just about everything you want could be yours if you play your cards right. It is not going to come gift-wrapped. Do not hide out in November. In December, the money is plenitiful, butbeware: There will be hidden expenses. In February, you may make changes to your home. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 5. You might feel like you don't have enough money and never will. Assess your situation, perhaps with the aid of a financial counselor, and you might find there is more money available than you thought. Do not get stuck thinking it is hopeless. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7. Looks like your mate or partner wants to call the shots right now. He or she has things pretty well thought out, so if the plan is to your liking, just relax and enjoy the ride. You want to stand up for your most important interests, but there is no point in squabbling about little stuff. Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 5. We have some very demanding people out there, and you are going to be working overtime keeping up with them. If you are in the communications field, you may be just about at your wits end. Listen instead of talking and you will save yourself a lot of trouble. You may not get people to talk much, but it will still be an improvement. Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is an 8. Looks like you are in love, but you have other work that needs to be done. So there could be a bit of a conflict. The emotional aspect is going along quite nicely, however. You always do better in conditions like these, so even if you have a problem, your chances of finding a workable solution are excellent. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 4. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 4. If you are like most Leos, you are focused on public matters most of the time. Right now, however, it is private matters that claim your attention. Spend time with the people you love. There are decisions to be made, issues to be talked out. Best to do that now. Later in the week, it will be more difficult for people to express themselves. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Today is a 7. The conditions in effect won't happen again for another year. The sun and moon are in Scorpio, and you are briliant. You are soaking up information, so don't miss this chance to learn something important. If you don't know what that is yet, think. What would you like to know? Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Today is a 5. You sometimes give more than you should of your own allotment, so other people won't be upset. Well, today that is not likely to be the case, so if you have negotiations to do concerning your career, step up to the plate right now. You will negotiate in your own favor, for a change, and you will do it well. Scarpie (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8. You are strong, powerful and charismatic. People want to do what you tell them to do. One person in particular is willing to do whatever you ask. Be responsible. Don't want to burn this one out by being too demanding. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5. You are under pressure again today, but the other person can't really ruffle your feathers, since what he has to offer is not anything you want. You are satisfied with what you have and that makes you a hard nut to crack. You don't have to put up with pressure tactics, either. With the help of a good friend, you can make your escape. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8. Are you tired of your same old environment and want to get out of your ruft? Do you want to buy a boat and cruise around the world? You would probably be good at that. Start learning how to sail. Take a few lessons. You don't need to do the whole thing now to have the exciting part start. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 4. There is a lot to be done, and orders to be followed. It will be difficult to push your ideas across, but that is OK. You are listening and learning instead, and watching for a good opportunity. That could come as soon as tomorrow, so make sure you have all your ducks in a row. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7. Group activities are going to go well today. You might think it is impossible to actually get crowds to do what you want, but that is not the case today. The people you are hanging out with have a lot of energy and a lot of good ideas. Just get them steered in the right direction.

Everyone wondering what Monica Lewinsky sounded like on the tapes secretly recorded by Linda Tripp got some unexpected voices as well — Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Baseball announcers on Lewinsky tapes As TV networks played excerpts of the Lewinsky-Tripp tapes yesterday, McCanver and Buck could be heard in the background calling Game 5 of the 1997 division series between Cleveland and New York, which Tripp apparently had on during a phone call. "if this isn't the ultimate sign that baseball is back, I don't know what is," McCarran said. "I'm inquiring about residuals." Buck, who is interrupted at one point by Lewinsky referring to President Clinton as "the big creep," joked that this validates his career in the eyes of his wife. "The World Series was great, the All-Star game wonderful and NFL on Fox terrific," he said. "But when she heard my voice this morning on the treadmill it was cause for celebration." At one point in the tapes, McCarver is heard delivering a soliloquy about the strike zone in between bantering from Tripp and Lewinsky about the intern's future in the White House. Buck also can be heard saying, "There's a long fly to left..." although it is not clear if the ball was eventually caught. "It brings a whole new level to the three-man booth," Buck said. "I think less is more and trying to get in an analyst and basically a spy is tough work for a play-by-play guy. If you heard it, I tried to let it breathe a little so Linda could talk." "This will be one of the highest-rated playoff games of all time when you consider the crowd that heard it today," he said. With all the coverage the tapes received, Buck is calling for a recount of the Nielsen ratings to account for the extra audience. Top soccer association postpones tournament ZURICH, Switzerland — FIFA postponed the Confederations Cup from January until next summer and said yesterday that World Cup champion France had agreed to participate. The tournament, originally scheduled Jan. 8-20 in Mexico City and Gaudalajara, will be played July 28-Aug. 8. The postponement will cause many U.S. national team players to miss games with their Major League Soccer clubs. France had said on Oct. 23 it would not participate because of conflicts with club games. "The rescheduling was agreed because of difficulties involved in the release of players for certain of the eight competing countries," FIFA said in a statement. "The French Football Federation has notified FIFA that, unlike the original January period, it will be able to field a strong team in July/August." The United States is in Group B with France, World Cup runner-up Brazil and New Zealand, while Bolivia, Egypt, Mexico and Saudi Arabia are in Group A. Germany, the defending European champion, declined to participate. FIFA also said only female referees will be used at next summer's Women's World Cup in the United States. Volleyball teams fined for sloppy uniforms TOKYO — Volleyball's fashion police is cracking down. Seven teams, including the United States and defending champion Italy, were fined $3.000 each yesterday for sloppy appearance at the men's world championships.

An FIVB official said the teams did not contest the punishment. The fines will be deducted from each team's prize money. The winning team receives $200,000 from the purse of $1.2 million. against five women's teams (Russia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy) for not meeting new uniform standards for international competition.

Also in the second round are Spain, Japan, Cuba, Bulgaria, Canada, South Korea, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, China, Greece and Ukraine. The semifinals and finals are Nov. 28-29. The Associated Press Oklahoma tailback rushes for NFL fame, money "If I had to put a percentage on it (leaving), it would be about 93 percent," he said yesterday. NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma tailback De'Mond Parker intends to skip his senior season for the NFL. Parker is the first Oklahoma player to rush for 1,000 yards in three seasons. The fourth-year junior has 1,067 yards this season and 3,394 in his career. He stands No. 4 on Oklahoma's career rushing chart, behind Joe Washington (3,995), Steve Owens (3,867) and Billy Sims (3,813). "I want the best for him and will do all I can to advise him," said coach John Blake, who expected Parker to turn professional. Parker considered going pro last season, when he gained 1,143 yards despite missing three games and parts of two others with an injured stomach muscle. He wound up staying in school and hoped to have a big year this season. He has had two 200-yard games, but also has failed to gain more than 30 yards in three other games. Provided he doesn't sign with an agent, Parker is allowed to contact NFL officials and scouts to get a feel for where he might be drafted. He suggested that if he is projected as a fourth- or fifth-round pick, his decision could be affected. Blake said Parker's speed and agility make him one of the top backs he has been around.
