HOROSCOPES
Aquarius: Today is an 8. January 20 - February 18 You are an absolute magnet for people of all kinds today. On the job, you could be the center of attention by working out a knotty problem that has been confounding others.
Pisces: Today is a 9. February 19 - March 20
If it is possible to be in love with one's work, that's how it is with you today, Piscs. Sometimes it is a pleasure simply to feel competent and on top of things. That's not all you will find pleasurable today, however.
Aries: Today is a 6. March 21 - April 19
One of your relationships may have hit a snag recently. Today, take time to smooth things out.
After a busy morning in which you demonstrate how quick you are in picking up on new developments, you might plan lunch for the two of you. To show this person how anxious you are to please, choose a place with food to his or her taste.
Taurus: Todav is a 7. April 20 - May 20
This morning, you may remember an unusual dream you had last night. Look for the message. With the weekend coming up soon, you may be obsessed with thoughts of pleasant ways to spend it - and whom to spend it with. If you have more than one choice, pick the person who you know is better for you.
Gemini: Today is a 5. May 21 - June 21
You may feel as if you are pushing a rock uphill today, and worse, are not even appreciated for your extra efforts. This may cause you to lash out at someone who does not deserve it. Better things are in store for you later on, such as having someone concentrate totally on you and tell you how great you are.
Cancer: Today is a 9. June 22 - July 22
Today is a great day for shopping. Even if you need only one or two things, you are going to fall in love with some great stuff that you just can't resist. Why resist as long as you can underwrite the expense.
Leo: Today is a 10. July 23 - August 22
What a splendid day to be a Leo. Even if the Sun isn't shining where you are, many things could hap pen today to warm your heart. Early on, you are productive and eager to please. More points for you. Then you are able to easily swing someone over to your point of view.
Virgo: Today is an 8. August 23 - September 22
You are a very discriminating type, Virgo. This enables you to see who is being absolutely honest with you and who may be not. Some Virgos are in the market for a job change. Today, however, your mind is much more on private and domestic matters than professional ones.
Libra: Today is an 8. September 23 - October 23 You win some, you lose some today, Libra. On balance, however, today is a day you can put in your good column. Early on, you are particularly sensitive to the environment you are living in. If it doesn't please you, this is an excellent time to consider investing in some new stuff for your digs. Your intuition is on target now.
Sagittarius: Today is a 10. Nov 22 - December 21
Signatures today is on 10 Nov 2021. What a day this is for power dressing, power plays, and for powerful people to take an interest in you. You are not one for currying favor, so just attribute it to your spectacular performance of late. Be prepared to wind down this evening and play it cooler.
Capricorn: Today is a 6. Dec. 22 - January 19
It may have been a long, hard couple of weeks,
Capricorn, and you may want nothing more of this
day than peace and quiet. Unfortunately, your
presence is required in the world of work. Once
you are part of the group, you actually find your
tasks relaxing.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska football fans apparently won back the tickets to the Cornhuskers' Sept. 25 game at Missouri they thought they had lost.
Cornhusker fans win back tickets to Missouri game
After sending out letters last week saying the tickets wouldn't be available, Missouri officials resented Wednesday and said they would try
to accommodate as many people as possible.
Many Husker fans who had paid $37 for
reserved seats were told by Missouri officials last week that the tickets were not available.
They were instead offered full refunds or the chance to purchase $15 general-admission tickets for a grassy hillside behind the north end zone.
But when Nebraskans threatened legal action, Missouri officials relented.
Jason Hayes, an assistant attorney general who heads Nebraska's consumer-protection division, asked for an explanation from Missouri officials.
Hayes received a call from Kelly Mescher, part of the Missouri's legal staff, who said they would accommodate most of the people who were told they had the tickets.
"They weren't sure that they can accommodate everyone, but they were going to try their best," he said.
Recent radio advertisements in Missouri urged Tiger fans to buy season tickets and "Stop the Red Storm!"
When Nebraska last played in Columbia in 1997, some 20,000 Husker fans were among the sellout crowd of 66,846.
BOULDER, Colo. — Outside line-backer Anwain Jones, caught in the middle of an academic eligibility dispute, will practice this season with the Colorado Buffaloes, but still cannot play, Coach

Colorado linebacker ineligible, not playing
for the fall semester. Jones attempted to transfer from junior college but was ruled ineligible for NCAA athletic competition because of a mixup by Colorado officials. He can practice with the team this fall and still have one year of eligibility remaining.
"He's going to enroll in school, work with the scout team and get ready to play next year," Barnett said.
Jones signed with Barnett at Northwestern out of high school in 1996 and started at drop linebacker for the Wildcats as a redshirt freshman in 1997. He left Northwestern after the 1998 spring semester and since then has attended Los Angeles Valley College and Laney College in Oakland, Calif.
He intended to transfer to Colorado when Barnett was named coach last January.
The Buffaloes projected Jones as their starter at drop linebacker this year until the eligibility situation erupted.
St. Louis outfielder has knee surgery
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Darren Bragg will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery yesterday to

repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Bragg, 29, injured the knee while
attempting to avoid a collision with J.D. Drew in an Aug. 2 game against the San Diego Padres. Bragg, who joined the Cardinals this
year, hit, 260 with six home runs and 26 RBI in 93 games.
TENNIS
Second-seed Rafter leaves tournament
INDIANAPOLIS — Patrick Rafter advanced to the quarterfinals of the RCA Championships with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 victory yesterday against Canadian Daniel Nestor, then withdrew from the tournament because of tendinitis in his right shoulder.
Rafter, 26, blamed the chronically sore shoulder for his sluggish start, then withdrew after meeting with his trainer and doctor.
Rafter was seeded second, behind Pete Sampras, who played later yesterday.
His withdrawal means Jan Siemerink of the Netherlands automatically advances to tomorrow's semifinals. Siemerink won 6-2, 6-3 yesterday defeating Sweden's Magnus Larsson.
Rafter's shoulder has troubled him for six weeks. The ATP's fourth-ranked player said the constant grind of the schedule had not allowed him to rest. He planned to take a forced leave at his home in Bermuda to ensure he's ready for the U.S. Open beginning Aug. 30.
The Australian is entered in next week's tournament at Long
Island, but said he won't play there either.
"I'm pulling out of here to give myself a little more time for the U.S. Open. I wanted to keep my run going. I didn't think (the shoulder) would progressively get worse and worse," Rafter said.
"I've been serving flat. I'm not serving any kick serves out there. I just serv.'"
HORSE RACING
Real Quiet breaks leg future now in doubt
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Real Quiet, the 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, won't race again this year because of a cracked leg bone, costing the Breeders' Cup Classic yet another star.
Whether the 4-year-old colt will ever race again remains to be seen.
"There's a little crack in the splint bone in the right front leg," said trainer Bob Baffert yesterday by telephone from Del Mar, Calif.
Baffert said he'd been told the injury should heal fine, but would wait 90 days and to see how it looked. He said the horse was finished for the year.
The injury was discovered after Real Quiet worked seven furlongs Sunday morning at Santa Anita.
"There was a little filling, and X-rays showed a little crack at the top of the splint bone," he said.
Real Quiet, who won the Hollywood Gold Cup in his last start June 27, was scheduled to start next in the Pacific Classic Aug. 29 at Del Mar and in the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 6 at Gulfstream Park.

Beyond the starting spots, playing time might be hard to come by if a receiver has a breakout year.
So who could have the best season?
"I don't know," Fulton said. "I think we're all pretty good.
"What if I said we're all ready for a breakout year?"
- Grades were finalized yesterday, which included the entire first and second string roster. One non-qualifier that surprised Allen was third-string quarterback Jay Alexander.
"Jay did not qualify," Allen said. "I have discussed it with him and at this time he's thinking about transferring to an NAIA school."
Alexander started the final two games of last season when Zac Wegner suffered a season-
