HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Somebody who cares very much is watching today. You may get a creepy feeling. Actually, this person probably means well; it's just that you like to be left alone. You're not much on touchy-feely friendships, so somebody who's over attentive could get on your nerves. Don't snap.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
It may be hard to see how much you've accomplished over the past few weeks, but it's most likely been a lot. There's still something to deal with that might start you. It's something more expensive than you'd planned. Don't worry. Doing without it it probably good for you.
This is a good day to draw up your lesson plan. Even if you're not a teacher, it doesn't hurt to know what you are going to do next. A plan helps you get from here to there with grace and ease. Today you'll LOVE writing. You might pop out a short story, too.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Your day's looking brighter, and your sweetheart's most likely in a better mood, too. That doesn't mean the day will be a snap or that everything will go according to it. It's just that, well, you won't care quite as much if it doesn't.
Leo: Today is a 6.
If you were to get what you want, how much would it be? In dollars and cents? You won't get money by winning the lottery, although that would certainly be nice. No, this money looks like funding to create something you've been dreaming about.
Virgo: Today is a 8.
Today, your hassles aren't like the ones you had yesterday. These are more emotional than technical And, in some ways, that's more difficult. You know the technical difficulties can be solved. It's just a question of reading the manual. But, where's the manual on relationships?
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio; Today is a 6.
Something you thought would work well may fall flat. Something else, that you thought wouldn't fly, could take off and soar like a hawk. Don't beat yourself up for guessing wrong. Adapt to reality as quickly as possible.
Saaittarius: Today is an 8.
There's another rivalry today, but to you, this looks like a kinder, gentler one. This disagreement might be on the best way to serve others, for example. You have some input that would be valuable to the combatants. They may not have all the information they need to make the decision.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Although you'd like to devote every moment to the soap opera at work, you may not be able to. Something at home needs your attention. It might be nothing more significant than buying groceries, but don't forget it. If you don't do what's expected of you tonight, there will be trouble.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Today's proceedings should turn out well for you, for the most part. There's a lucky break concerning love, but something else might not turn out as planned. That's something you're learning how to do. Be patient tonight.
If you could have anything, what would it be? Your wish would probably not be for yourself. You'd make the world a better place. It may not happen tonight, but that doesn't mean it won't hap pen.
Today, your main concern will be the money. How can you get it without going into your reserves? Actually, that might be your clue. There may be some way to get what you want by using what you have as collateral. This could work at home and at work.
KANSAS
Kansas' junior center Eric Chenowith and junior forward Luke Axtell were named earlier this summer to the preseason top 50 for the annual John Wooden Award.

are Wooden candidates
Chenowith:
Named to Wooden preseason list
The Wooden award is given at the end of each season to the
nation's best college basketball player. Along with the preseason list, the Wooden committee selects another 25 candidates during the season. At the end of the season the list is then narrowed to five players who make up the
Wooden All-America team. Then, from that five, one player is selected as player of the year.
Chenowith, the Jayhawks' leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker from a year ago received honorable mention AllAmerica honors last season as well as Playboy Magazine's preseason honor this year.
Axtell, fresh off sitting out a year after transferring from Texas, looks to bring added scoring, outside shooting and quickness to this year's team.
Matt Tait
Last year guard Ryan Robertson was among the Wooden award's preseason top 25 and stayed on the list all season. Other recent honorees include Reaf Lafrentz, who was a two-time Wooden All-American; Pierce and Jacque
Vaughn, who were selected to the team once; and Danny Manning, who won the award in 1988.

iowa State guard to transfer to UMKC
— Kansan staff report
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Delvin Washington will transfer from Iowa State to play at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kangaroos coach Bob Sundvold said yesterday.
Washington, a 6-foot-2 guard
from Port
Arthur, Texas played the first semester last year for the Cyclones after playing his first
Butler County, Community College.
Washington averaged 4.3 points a game for Iowa State.
Sundvold also announced that Randall Atchison, a 6-foot-5 forward from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
Atchison averaged 17 points, six rebounds and two blocked shots a game his senior year at Piper High School.
also has agreed to play for the Kangaroos.
TRACK AND FIELD
U.S. track star Jones may be out for year
SEVILLE, Spain — The World Championships are over for Marion Jones. The rest of the season could be in jeopardy, too.
Track and field's most high-profile women's athlete crumbled onto the track in agony last night, with serious back spasms and cramps.
As she fell during a semifinal heat of the 200 meters, a hush came over the crowd of 38,633 at Olympic Stadium.
Jones went down about 50 meters from the finish, clutching her lower back with her left hand, her face contorted in pain. From a sitting position, she rolled onto her back and was motionless before two doctors rushed to her aid.
She was placed on a gurney and rolled into the medical area. Her husband, C.J. Hunter, came down from the stands after slapping the air in anger about the injury.
Doctors worked on Jones at the stadium for about 2 1/2 hours, before she walked out slowly under her own power without speaking to the media. Plans to take her to a hospital were scrapped and she returned to her hotel, asking not to be disturbed.
PRO BASKETBALL
Wizards sign Richmond to $40 million deal
WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, Mitch Richard's future seemed to lie almost anywhere but Washington. That changed Tuesday as he signed a four-year, $40-million contract with the Wizards to become the highest-paid shooting guard in the NBA.
"Hopefully my jersey is washed, Richmond joked to assistant equipment manager Jerry Walter after he returned to the MCI Center.
The Wizards and Richmond's agent reached agreement last week after stalled negotiations, which puts Richmond ahead of shooting guards Reggie Miller, Kobe Bryant, Latrell Sprewell and Ray Allen — each of whom will make about $9 million this season.
"What can you say?" Richmond said. "I thought that I played a lot of years in this league. You never know when it's going to come, but you want to keep playing and let things handle themselves."
Last season, Richmond's first with the Wizards, the 34-year-old guard led the team in scoring, averaging 19.7 points a game.
This season, Richmond predicts a turnaround.
But that scoring average was also the lowest of Richmond's career. The team had a rocky season, finishing 18-32 and without a shot at the playoffs.
"I felt we were a playoff-caliber team last year, but things didn't go our way," Richmond said.
"This year definitely I think we'll be a lot better team. I think we are a plavoff team."

Pot of gold raked in from Irish game
Continued from page 1B
The last time Kansas put on a great show in a game where they made money was the 1995 Aloha Bowl. It won that game 51-30 against UCLA, but, unlike a preseason game, the money wasn't quite the same.
"The Aloha Bowl is more of a break-even type of deal," Konzem said. "You have plane fare and then you have to split the money with other Big 12 schools. In the end, you basically break even."
Which makes a preseason game all the more attractive.
The money from Saturday's game doesn't have to be split with any other Big 12 Conference school, allowing Kansas to use the money on a new speed and strength room.
The guaranteed money is comparable to what other schools will be making Saturday, even if their football programs are better established.
Ohio State University, ranked No.1 most of last year, will make
Penn State, who will play host to the University of Arizona, is expected to make slightly more than $1 million Saturday.
either $650,000 or 30 percent of the revenue from its game with the University of Miami on Sunday.
Notre Dame will make more than $1 million as well — the added benefits of playing at home.
For Kansas, the trip to South Bend means getting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow — at the end of the game.
