HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
If you've thought about taking on a partner, guess what? That's your assignment for the next few weeks. You tend to be a Bone Ranger, but now it's time to learn how to play nicely with others. You should know who that person is real soon.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
Today, the conversation most likely pertains to your job. A coworker may want to cry on your shoulder, much to your dismay. You have other work to do, but be kind. This person needs your good common sense. The right word or two will help a bit.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)Today is a 6.
Mercury is your ruling planet, so when it goes into Libra, like it's doing now, it's good news for you. This means you'll have absolutely no trouble finding the right words, especially about love, for the next few weeks.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
You're a hard worker, that's for sure. But more and more your attention is drawn to your home and family. That's always been your first priority. No matter how successful you get, that's where your heart stays. Today, find the words to say that
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Lee July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Conditions are changing again, and this time it means that you're getting smarter. You're getting more curious, too. Ask your sweetheart or child a leading question, and you're liable to get the whole truth blurted out.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)Today is a 6.
You always look out for the welfare of others, but sometimes you forget about your own. Well, that won't be the case for the next few weeks when balancing your own budget becomes your top priority.

Scarpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Today is a 6.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is a 7.
You're launching into a new learning phase.
Everything around you looks interesting. It's always like that, to some extent, but for the next few weeks, it'll be pervasive. You may even find yourself reading technical manuals just for the fun of it. Enjoy!
Saqittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Today is a 6.
Money, money, money. Is that all you ever think about? Well, lately, that seems to be it.
You've got so many things you want to buy, you have to be aggressive about bringing the money in. Not to worry. Today, it'll be easy for you to close a sale. Just be decisive.
Segmentus (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) 719 is a 7.
The pressure you've been under starts to ease.
It's as if you've undergone a test to see if you could do things exactly their way. Today, let people see how you think things should be done. Your way might be better.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7.
Today, you could get an opportunity to make more money. That could be by taking on a new client or getting another job, or by taking on more responsibility in the job you have now. It's up to you to find the opportunity and grab it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Today is a 7.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) 10loday is a 7?
It is time for you to go back to school? Do you have enough degrees yet? Conditions seem to point in that direction. It always happens this time of year. Your best subjects to study are the stock market, real estate investment and comedy. Not necessarily in that order.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
The truth comes out, to the benefit of some and the horr of others. This may affect your money, so listen carefully. Those skills you learned earlier in the month will come in handy. If you weren't learning any skills, well, maybe you'll see the point in doing so now.

Floyd leaves its mark on AL wild card race
Steady rainfall forced the post-ponement of yesterday's game between the Athletics and Baltimore Orioles, and the expected full-force
arrival of the hurricane also caused today's game to be called off. There also was concern that Oakland might have a tough time getting out of
Baltimore this evening.
The games probably will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 23, an off-day for both clubs.

Winbush has 'escapability' factor
Continued from page 10A
Winbush, 5-foot-7 and 185 pounds,
was a one-man stampede. He averaged almost 10 yards per carry and was named ESPN's offensive player of the week.
"People have been underestimating me my whole life," Winbush said. "Except for my teammates, people have always underestimated me. I think it's because 'I'm the small guy.'
isn't as good as a larger running back.
As a senior at Killeen High School in Killeen, Texas, Winbush led the state in rushing yards and touchdowns. He also was a first-team All-State selection.
But it's never been his production that was the problem. It's been the pounding that a body his size can take week after week. There is a point at which his durability just
"Would I want him to run the ball thirty times a game? No." Coach Terry Allen said. "But I wouldn't mind getting him twenty touches a game."
That's because Winobin has what Allen calls "escapability," the ability to elude would-be tacklers.
This was apparent Saturday during the second quarter of the Cal State Northridge game, Winbush caught a pass from quarterback Dylen Smith, zig-zagged down the sideline, slowed down a bit, moved his hips left, then right, and left a Northridge player grabbing at air.
"You try to tackle those little guys, and they break your ankles," said Dion Rayford, defensive end.
This year the team voted Winbush
most competitive.
"I just want to be in there and make plays," Winbush said. "I never want to come out of the game."
Winbush ran for a team-high 77 yards against Notre Dame. Last week, he almost doubled that, rushing for 134 yards. It vaulted him into 15th on the all-time Kansas rushing list, passing Eric Vann and Ray Evans. As a junior, he has a shot at being one of the top three rushers in Kansas history — if he can average 1,000 yards per season for the next two years.
But reaching 1,000 yards is sort of an unwritten goal for Winbush.
"I'm not really concentrating on it, but it is a goal," he said.

said. "You're going to lose some games, especially with the schedule we play, so we've just got to make sure that when we do lose we bounce back quickly."
Schroeder said that she agreed and that she thought the team had solved some of the problems that have slowed it on the field. She also said she thought the team needed to rekindle the spark in its on-field mentality.
"We obviously take into consideration the losses that we've had, and from watching the games that we did lose, we practiced from that and tried to fix the mistakes that we've made," Schroeder said. "[We need to] try to have high intensity the whole time, and, hopefully, we can bring that out in the games."
