Gemini: Today is a 9.
Your mind is active today. You will make a lot of points, just by being you. You have an admirer from far away. Might as well put on a show, as long as you have an appreciative audience. By the way, pay attention to what you say and when you say it.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You've just about figured out how to get what you want for your home. It may be tomorrow before you really come to a conclusion. That's OK. If you wait a little longer, you may save even more money. And that's one of your primary objectives, right?
Leo: Today is an 8.
Just about everything is lined up in your favor. There is one authority figure who's still watching to see if you really can do what you say. No problem. You can meet and exceed this person's expectations with half your talent tied behind your back.

You are figuring out how to make more money so you can pay off old debts. Travel may beckon, too. That's a nice carrot you can dangle in front of yourself. There's lots of work to be done, and the pay looks good. Cover for a friend and make a nice nest eaq.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Libra: Today is an 8.
You're looking good today. Friends and group activities are all favored. It might be hard to find private time because you have so many people to see. Focus your attention on more practical matters You may wish you had more money soon.

Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
You're going to be willing to try something a little bit outrageous. It's a stretch, but that's OK. Before you jump off the edge, however, check to make sure you have a safety net in place. Wouldn't hurt to have a good support system, too.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
During this phase, you're getting some attention that you may not really want. You may wish you could hide out. You might also wish you had a little more money. Amazingly enough, you want the money to play! It's hard to find enough private time, but you can.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You're faced with some sort of adventure. Are you being tempted to go back to school, to teach a class or to publish a book? Any of those venues would work well for you right now. It wouldn't hurt to have a partner, either. You'll reach more people that way.
The good news is that there's plenty of work to be done. You're also making a fabulous impression on an older person. Stop worrying. Keep going to school, learning new skills and getting prepared. That's your assignment for right now. This could turn out to be kind of fun.

Sisters duel to finish in Grand Slam Cup
MUNICH, Germany — With her mother in the stands and her sister on the opposite side of the court, Serena Williams took little delight in this victory.
The U.S. Open champion won 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 yesterday in a final in which the sisters showed little emotion during the match but embauched at the net when it was completed.
It didn't matter that she had just beaten big sister Venus for the first time. Or that she had won the Grand Slam Cup and an accompanying $900,000 payday. Or that she had extended her winning streak to 16. These family showdowns are draining.
"I've never actually beaten Venus; I didn't know how it feels," she said. "It's kind of tough to take this win."
Venus, at 19 a year older than her sister, applauded at the finish, as did their mother. Oracene.
"It's a win-win situation," said Venus, the 1998 champion. "One daughter is going to win. What's the difference?"
To David Cone, Omar Vizuel and most everyone else in the AL playoffs, these matchups look extremely familiar.
New York vs. Texas, Boston vs.
Cleveland. For the second straight year,
and third time overall.

Morris rushes to win, fills Williams' shoes
LUBBOCK, Texas — Sammy Morris filmed the shoes of injured Heisman hopeful Ricky Williams, rushing for 170 yards and a touchdown, powered Texas Tech to a stunning upset victory against Nn. 5 Texas A&M, 21:19 Saturday night.
Worms, who hadn't seen either
intime since 1996 because of acade

dashed around corners,
jumped over linemen and made the Aggies top-rated defense look porous.
Down 21-10 at the half, Texas A&M inched back with two field goals in the third quarter and another with 8:15 in
the fourth to cut Tech's lead to 21-19.
But it was the Red Raiders' defense that decided the game in the final minutes.
With the Aggies threatening to move into field goal range, Tech's Dorian Pitts ran wide around the line and sacked quarterback Randy McCown from behind. The Aggies final pass attempt was intercepted with just more than a minute left.
The Red Raiders ran out the clock for the victory.

Women's tennis holds own without seniors
Bv Brent Briaaeman
Kansan sportswriter
In the absence of its senior leaders, the Kansas women's tennis team gave its coach a glimpse of the future.
Kansas went to Houston last weekend for the Rice Tennis Classic without its top players and team leaders, Brooke Chiller and Julia Sidorova. Seniors Chiller and Sidorova were competing at the World Team Tennis Championship in Palo Alto, Calif.
But the underclassmen didn't skip a beat without their senior leaders.
Sophomores Christi Wagenaar and Lisa Malliaah made it through the
weekend without dropping a match before meeting each other in the Flight C singles finals. Wagenaar defeated her teammate in straight sets to claim the championship.
"Having both of our players in the Flight C finals is an indication of how deep our team really is," Garrity said. "I'm very proud of Christi and Lisa for their efforts in the tournament."
The win moved Wagenaar to a perfect 6-0 in singles play on the year.
"Christi played outstanding for the

second weekend in a row," Garrity said. "Especially this weekend winning both singles and doubles titles."
Cheryl Mallaiah and Tiffany Chang defeated the Mississippi team of Camilla Gould and Irena Mihailova in the Flight A doubles championship.
Maliahia, a sophomore, finished the weekend by defeating Tulane's Julie Morris in the Flight A consolation bracket.
Garrity was pleased with Malliaah's performance.
"Cheryl did a very good job of finishing the tournament strong after dropping the first round match to
probably the tournament's best player, Vladka Uhlirova from Texas." Garrity said. "She had a very tough draw this weekend."
Chang, the only freshman on the Kansas roster, also won her final match of the weekend to claim fifth place in Flight B. She is now 4-2 on the season.
In Palo Alto, Kansas was eliminated from the main draw after losing to second-seeded Mississippi in the first round.

Rodrigo Echagaray and Julia
Sidorova represented Kansas at the first ever coed intercollegiate national championships.
