HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
You're squirming, possibly because of a shortage of funds. Your partner may be able to help.
Don't ask for a loan; ask for advice on getting a better job. Then, most importantly, take the advice and do it!
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Share the load. You can't do it all, nor should you. Do you want people to recognize your value? No problem. Get someone to help with the invisible part. Keep the fun, creative part — and the glory — for yourself. It's about time you did.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're lucky, but today could be rough anyway You're wise, but there's a big problem to figure out. Don't talk much. Your success might peeve somebody else. No point in talking about your miseries, either. Listen, and you'll make more friends.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You're looking good. You're popular, too. And, therein lies the dilemma. Should you be with your sweetheart or with your old friend? These two may not go well together, but you can find time for both. Special time.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Get a video and watch it at home, rather than going out. Or, you could forget the video and the TV and have an old-fashioned conversation. You remember. That's when a couple of people talk directly to each other. Start out by listening, and the other person will think you're brilliant.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Today you'll find it easier to focus and to make big decisions. This is good, especially if others are in a dither. Be careful traveling, however, especially in connection with your work. You're sharp, but you may need to be. Pay attention to where you're going!
Money could be a problem today. You want to buy too many things. This is not unusual, actually. You like to shop. You need to put some money away, however, and your sweetheart may need your support. Give love but use the money to pay off a debt.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
You and someone else are going around and around. Get the rules figured out, or it'll get worse instead of better. Also, determine what both of you are trying to accomplish. The other side may cave today, so push for what you want.
You're in a casual, carefree, uninhibited mood. Unfortunately, you have too many chores to complete. Drifting off into la la land is not recommend ed. You know what needs to be done. Do it — the sooner the better.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You might be in the mood to talk about your sweetheart with your friends. Take care. Don't say anything that isn't supportive to the relationship, and you'll do fine. With that minor cautionary note out of the way, you can relax into a marvelous day!
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You want to try new things and to be outrageous. Well, maybe you ought to be a little more inhibited, instead. That's especially true in a work setting. You could go too far with a stodgy older person, and it's just not worth the bother.
You're decisive and strong today. If you're going to travel, though, take care. Make lists and get organized first. Check the map. You'll be in a good mood when you start out, and if you're prepared, you'll be in a good mood when you arrive at your destination, too.

Mike Moschetti threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Stiggers on Colorado's first possession in overtime, and Kelly thwarted Missouri moments later, picking off a pass from Kirk Farmer intended for Eric Spencer.
In the longest game in Colorado history — exactly four hours — and the school's first overtime game, Colorado (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) railed from a 25-18 deficit with three straight fourth-quarter touchdowns. Interceptions by Brady McDonnell and Damen Wheeler accounted for two of the scores, helping the Buffaloes take a 39-25 lead with 4:12 left.
BASEBALL
Both New York teams advance to next series
In a wild weekend of Major League Baseball playoffs, both New York teams made it one step closer to making it a Subway World Series.
Three years ago, Todd Pratt was out of baseball, teaching at Bucky Dent's baseball school. He might
have learned a lesson too.
Baseball's improbable team found an unlikely hero when Pratt, replacing injured Mike
Piazza for the second straight day, homered in the 10th inning Saturday for a 4-3 victory that gave the New York Mets a 3-1 win against Arizona in their first-round National League playoff series.

Kansas blows crucial plays during loss to K-State
Continued from page 1B
Concerned with the return abilities of K-State punt returner David Allen, Kansas punter Joey Pelfanio punted away from the kick returner most of the game. That gave Pelfanio trouble, who shanked three kicks, giving K-State excellent field position.
"It's hard to kick the ball out of bounds and not kick it off the side of your foot," Allen said.
Kansas had good field position once,
but fumbled three plays later.
K-State ranked up 19 rankings for 100
K-State racked up 18 penalties for 162
yards, but the Jayhawks couldn't take advantage of them. They missed one field goal and another was blocked.
When the Jayhawks did drive 88 yards to the K-State four-yard line, they were unable to score three times and settled for a field goal.
An 88-yard touchdown pass from K State quarterback Jonathan Beasley to wide receiver Quincy Morgan developed from a broken play. Kansas pressured Beasley, he scrambled out of the pocket and connected with Morgan, who had drifted behind the Kansas secondary.
Twelve minutes later, Beasley and
Morgan hooked up again on a 48-yard reception that would set up a K-State touchdown.
"The defense just gave up those long bombs. That will kill you," said safety Greg Erb.
Quarterback Dylan Smith was 727 for 77 yards and had trouble establishing a rhythm with his receivers. Physical bump-and-run coverage by K-State kept the Kansas wide receivers from getting open, ruining the Jayhawks' game plan of establishing the passing game.
Kansas played well, gave up a few big plays, then was down by a lot of
points and couldn't come back.
"We keep giving up the first touchdown of every game," said wide receiver Michael Chandler. "I don't know what it is, but we have to stop that."
Running back Mitch Bowles, who had success against K-State with 102 yards on 20 carries simplified the Jayhawks' problems a bit more.
"We couldn't make any catches," he said. "We couldn't make any runs. We just didn't make any plays. It's not about can we move the ball, it's can we do it and make big plays."
