Patton stresses new start for Buffs
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — He gives private tate kwon do lessons, and once trained rotttwellers for use as protection dogs.
Now Ricardo Patton has a new challenge: bringing respectability to Colorado men's basketball.
Patton was named interim coach when Joe Harrington quit Tuesday after 51/2
seasons at Colorado.
Players called Wednesday's practice the toughest of their careers in Boulder, as Patton stressed conditioning and discipline.
"When he says something, he means it," said freshman guard Chauncey Billups. "If he tells you it's snowing outside, don't even look, because it's snowing."
Colorado (5-9 overall, 0-3 Big Eight Conference) will need more than just faith in their coach when they play No. 4 Kansas tomorrow. The Buffaloes have lost 11 consecutive games to the Jayhawks (13-1, 1-0) and 18 of the past 19.
Patton gives his players a "Thought of the Day" before every practice. Wednesday's thought was "A New Beginning" — meaning there are no expectations and no pressure.
"I wanted them to realize that even though there was going to be a great deal of discipline, it was going to be fair," Patton said. "I was not going to do anything unreasonable."
Patton, 37, was an assistant at Tennessee State for two years before coming to Colorado in 1993. He also spent a year at Arkansas-Little Rock and two years at Middle Tennessee State.
Colorado Athletic Director Bill Marolt told Colorado assistant Scott Sanderson that he gave Patton the interim job on a gut feeling.
Despite being passed over, Sanderson — son of former Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson — said his loyalties are with the team.
"This is tough on everybody -- Ricardo, (assistant David) Moe, the players, Bill Marolt," Sanderson said. "It's no tougher on me than anyone else."
The Buffs have lacked toughness this season and shown signs of fatigue late in games.
Patton ran his players hard Wednesday, and implemented rules such as having shoe laces tied when taking the court.
"If a runner goes out with his shoes untied for a race, he's going to stumble," Patton said.
The players weren't about to second-guess their new coach.
"He's a disciplinarian," Billups said. "That what's it going to take for us to have a chance."
Horoscopes
Bv Linda C. Black
Today's Birthday (Jan. 19).
You are awesome this year!
Things may not turn out exactly as expected, so stay flexible. Set your goals before the end of January.
In February, unusual methods could work. Study and romance are linked in March, so you may learn something about love. May is best for romantic commitment, if you want it to last forever. Schedule your vacation for September.
By December, you may have achieved a major goal and set a new one.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Conditions today favor the older generation. Consequently, there could be conflict. Don't get into a fight you can't win. The older person is probably right. Learn patience and you'll probably be successful. That could work in your love life too!
Taurus (April 20-May 20). A person who is sometimes rather bossy could come up with an excellent plan this morning, to achieve a mutual goal. You might have a few handy hints, too. Someone you work with could be your soul mate. You know how to get along happily on not too much money. Today, set a good example for the others.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). People will be very concerned with saving money today. Some of them may seem rather set in their ways, but don't fret. They'll consider a new idea, if it will
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
You aren't alone — you have others who can lead you through a situation you've never experienced before. If you're having trouble getting along with your mate, don't worry about that, either. Maybe you just need more time together, not talking.
really works. You'd better do your homework first! Schedule a romantic interude for Sunday.
Leo (July 23-Ang. 22). Today is very good for setting long range goals. What life do you want to have ten years from now? If you're imagining a different career, you'd better get on the right track! Give the matter some serious thought. Ask your mate to help you with this one.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
After the job's done, go over it again. You may find an error the others missed. Later, inquire of an older person. You are very good at learning from others' mistakes.
That today, that could save you quite a bit of trouble. And, you'll make a good impression.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You might come against a tight situation today. If so, try to figure out what the lesson is, so you can learn it quickly and get on your way. If you're having trouble understanding your sweetheart's reasoning, give up. Your intuition will work better.
**Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).**
Today is perfectly suited to your temperament. You should be able to see a direct cause-and-effect
relationship between the amount of work you do and the goal you want to achieve. And you'll be going over the hurdles like an Olympic track runner.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You may get stuck today,
behind some people who will be
moving very slowly. Your elders
may think it's time you learn a
thing or two, whether you want to
or not. Listen, and you could
make a lot of money. Stay home with a sick friend tonight.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
During this phase, you should be coming up with a lot of good ideas on how to increase your income.
Be sure to write them down so you don't forget them. In love, your luck should be fine. If you're not going with anyone, let a sibling set up a blind date for you.
Aquarium (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's not easy to keep an open mind while you're talking to somebody with whom you disagree. That's the challenge for today. Don't shut down the communication channels just because the other guy pushes all your buttons. It might be a trick to win the debate.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today, get some of the older folks to talk about life, and how to get through it successfully. If you can steer the communication into areas that are important to you, you might save yourself a lot of trouble! Romance should be best with an old friend.

Baseball interleague play approved
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Major league club owners yesterday unanimously approved interleague play for the 1997 season, Boston Red Sox chief executive officer John Harrington said.
The proposal is subject to the approval of the Major League Baseball Players Association.
The plan calls for 15-16 interleague games for each team, scheduled around Memorial Day and Labor Day.
"This is an idea that obviously merits serious consideration and we will give it that," said union head Donald Fear before the vote. "We have to take a look at anything that will be beneficial to the game."
Harrington said the designated hitter would be used in American League ballparks in 1997 but not in National League ballparks matching the arrangement used during the World Series.
Owners have proposed the eventual elimination of the DH, but some in the players' association want to expand its use to the NL.
"It might kill interleague play, but I don't expect the union to do that," said Harrington, chairman of the owners' schedule-format committee.
The change is historic for a sport that prides itself on tradition. Other than the World Series and the All-Star game, the AL and NL have not played games that count since the AL first challenged its senior rival in 1900.
Under the plan, AL East teams will play NL East teams, AL Central teams will play NL Central teams and AL West teams will play NL West teams.
Teams in the East and Central will play a three-game series against
each interleague rival in the other division, while teams in the West will play a four-game series.
Owners today approved the sale of a controlling interest in the California Angels from Gene Autry to the Walt Disney Co. The deal is contingent on the Anaheim City Council approving within 60 days the reconstruction of Anaheim Stadium.
If reconstruction isn't approved, Disney could back out of the deal or attempt to move the team.
"There are obviously other alternatives," said Disney chief executive officer Michael Elsner. "They are not pretty alternatives and they are not ones we endorse. We want to stay in Anaheim but we cannot lose hundreds of millions of dollars for that privilege."
In addition, owners tabled discussion on the proposed sales of the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals.
