HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
Keep out of an argument if you can. It doesn't really concern you, and besides, you don't have enough facts to win. You can ask questions and listen, but don't say much. Don't tip your hand, especially if you're not sure what game is being played.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Today do some planning and budgeting. You and your mate need to hassle this out. Your choices will make all the difference. Once you agree on what you want, everything else will fall into place.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're being pushed and prodded to become more sensitive. Listen to what isn't being said, and you'll learn a lot. It'll take a lot of practice, but that's OK. The longer you can keep your mouth shut, the more you'll learn. It's tough, but it'll be worth the effort.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Your intuition is keen and right on target.
You're getting the message loud and clear.
Other people don't have a clue, but that's OK.
It's none of their business anyway, right?
Leo: Today is a 6.
Is there something you'd like to do with your home? Buy more nice things? How about a move to better digs? You're in the mood, but should you do it yet? Well, maybe a little more homework would be a good idea, first. Better safe than sorry.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You've got a good partner, and you're learning quickly. You have a few worries, but that's OK. You should be used to that by now. You can improve your efficiency, and that'll make you feel better. Look for a way to streamline procedures.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Your creativity could pay off for you. Let people know what you can do and find out what they want. Service is the key to your success.
Get your ego go out of the way. This may not be easy, but it's good for you — and them!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You should be able to get what you want regarding romance, and that's good. Somebody else leans on you regarding work, however, and that's annoying. You'd like to cuddle all day long, but that may not happen. Schedule in as much as possible.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You're always interested in learning new skills, and that could pay off for you now. Something you hear about in a private setting can be put to use almost immediately. Don't be afraid to ask questions; that's giving you the edge.
Focus on family even if it means not playing with your friends. Something at home needs your attention. Maybe you just need a little more time to yourself. A quiet evening now could be preventive medicine, so just relax.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You should be focused on getting money. Go for the promotion or the better job. The problem is you don't care about that. Hey, it's not really fithy cash; it's good to have. Save the philosophical conversation for later. Get the rent paid first.
You're getting pretty good advice from an expert. You may also be working with a partner. Gather as much information as you can before proceeding. Have another take the risk instead of you.
BOXING
LAS VEGAS — Mike Tyson's bark sometimes seems worse than his bite.
Tyson says bite comment was just bark, hot air

Tyson made a comeback in 1995 after three years in an Indiana prison on a rape conviction and again this year after being idle in 1998. His license had been revoked because of the Holyfield fight.

Kasparatis, who will lose $15,625, was assessed a major penalty and a game misconduct for the hit Saturday that left Dumont — carried off the ice on a stretcher — with a concussion.

"The hit delivered by Mr. Kasparaitis was deliberate, and his opponent was not in possession of the puck nor in a position to defend himself," said NHL vice-president Colin Campbell, who handed down the suspension. "This type of hit is dangerous and warrants disciplinary actions."
Chicago general manager Bob Murray said Kasparaitis would have more than money to pay.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Forward Sebastien Bordeleau, who ended last season with a cracked vertebra in his neck, signed with the Nashville Predators yesterday.

"Martinez is a true professional hitter," Mariners manager Lou Piniella said. "He hits to all fields, he hits for power, he drives in runs and he gets on base. He's a key part of our offense, and I'm pleased to have him back."
The Mariners did not disclose contract terms.
IOC receives criticism for anti-drug efforts

the spread of performance-enhancing drugs at the Olympic Games.
efforts to crack down on drug use are more a public relations ploy than a public policy solution, Barry McCaffrey, head of the White House drug policy office, told the Senate Commerce Committee. The IOC, he said, is in denial in their approach to the crisis.

The IOC's
The IOC, already under fire about the issue of corruption in Olympic site selection, is moving to set up a new body called the World Anti-Doping Agency that will be involved in drug research, education and prevention.
The IOC says the agency will have equal representation from governments, sports bodies and athletes, and will make independent decisions. But McCaffrey and others said it would have no power beyond making recommendations.

did not think that was the reason for the move.
"That thought probably is there." Williams said. "But what's giving us the advantage is that we've been pretty good."
Statistics show that Kemper Arena's proximity to Lawrence has little to do with Kansas' tournament success. In Williams' first eight sea
sons at Kansas, the Jayhawks won only one conference tournament, the 1992 Big 8 Tournament. Since the inception of the Big 12 in 1995, however, Kansas has won every conference tournament.
From a football standpoint, the board liked Kansas City's proximity to a number of Big 12 schools, as the city is within a half-day's drive for six of them.
"We have what we think is an outstanding group of venues, and I think we have struck a great balance between new and traditional sites and fan bases," Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said.
The baseball tournament will remain in its present location in Oklahoma City until 2001, when the tournament could be moved to an alternative site.

Pugh, hopefuls go home empty-handed
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
There will be no chants of "Puuugggh" in Allen Fieldhouse this year.
The brief Kansas basketball career of T.J. Pugh's younger brother Pat came to an end last night as assistant coach Ben Miller told 26 prospective walkons that there simply wasn't room for another player on this year's roster.
Deep down, Pat and the other hopefuls expected it all along. Still, there was that slight chance, that slim ray of hope.
That hope was enough to bring the students to the fieldhouse for three nights of gueling practices this week.
They ranged in height from 5-foot-7 to
The walk-ons were as diverse as the Kansas campus.
6-7. They ranged in age from 18 to 21.
There were junior college transfers,
Division II transfers and guys who
haven't played ball in three years.
They came from all around, including
from Omaha, Neb, St. Louis, Mo., and
from little Silver Lake.
The field included an architecture design major, a computer graphics major, a business major and a sports management major.
The girls' basketball manager was there. So was a guy who was a sixth man on his high school team.
Then they used Pat Pugh.
"I decided five days ago that I'd give it a shot," he said. "I just decided that I didn't want to leave college with any regrets. I just thought I'd see what I could do."
Pugh's gritty style of play closely
resembled that of his brother's. In three nights of scrimmaging, he dove for loose balls and took three charges. He even stepped out and hit a three-point shot. Unfortunately, at 5:11 (compared with T.J.'s 6-9 frame), that's where the similarities end.
"We knew it would take a standout to make it beyond tonight," Miller said. "We had a lot of good players, but no great players. But this was fun. These guys put out an outstanding effort."
Michael Habtemichael, Ottawa sophomore, did not let the fact he didn't make the team diminish his experience.
"I was just fortunate to have this opportunity," he said. "I would be kicking myself if I hadn't done it. I mean hev, I had nothing to lose."
