Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You are lucky in love, and you will be for several weeks. You could be lucky with games, too. It may be hard to say what's on your mind, but that's OK. You might not have to say a thing!

Cancer: Today is a 7.
What investments should you make to get the best return? Where can you cut costs and increase your income? You could almost write a book on this subject, but today reading one's smarter move.

Aquarius: Today is a 7.
How long has it been since you took a road trip? You may be sick and tired of the same old dull routine. Could you get away for just the evening? Visit dear friends, and you'll feel rejuvenated.
You're a powerful person. You love coming up with the good ideas, but selling them can be a struggle. Take care of business now and save yourself some trouble later.
Pisces: Today is a 6.

Former Kansas golfer plays in Hope Classic
BERNARD DENNIS JUNK
Tournament host Bob Hope settled into his seat behind the 18th green yesterday just in time to see Jesper Pamevik, the son of a famous Swedish comedian, put on quite a show.
Parnev rallied from 3 strokes behind, wasted a 2-stroke lead on the back nine and then finished in style with a two-putt birdie on the 18th hole to win the Bob Hope Classic.
Parnik closed with a 6-under 65 — his 11th consecutive round under par and finished at 331, beating Rory Sabbatini by 1 stroke. The victory was his third on the PGA Tour in as many years, and the $540,000 check was the largest of his career.

BERMUDA DUNES, Calif.
"It was a little more interesting than I wanted it to be, but that's just the way I do things." Parnevik said.
This was the first tour victory that Parnevik didn't have at least a share of the lead going into the final round. And it was the first time he lit his victory cigar — just as much a trademark as his zany outfits — on the driving range.
The victory wasn't secure until Sabbatini failed to birdie the par-5 18th at Bermuda Dunes.
Matt Gogel, former Kansas golfer, who started the final round of the 90-hole tournament just 1 stroke back, didn't make a birdie until the 18th hole. Still, that 25-foot putt made a difference of $18,500.
hard to miss him at 5:00.
David Duval, the defending champion who closed with a 59 last year, took himself out of the race early. He did not make a birdie until the par-5 eighth, made only one birdie on a par-4 and finished with a 70.
David Toms and J.L. Lewis each had a 68 and finished at 333
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes ended a five-month contract dispute with former captain and all-star Keith Primeau by trading him yesterday to the Philadelphia Flyers for Rod Brind'Amour.
Hurricanes' Primeau traded to Philadelphia

"I am excited that there's finally a resolution and am looking forward to playing in a city like Philadelphia," said Primeau, a restricted free agent who has missed Carolina's first 48 games.
Primeau, who had 30 goals last season, said he signed a five-year, $22.75 million contract with the Flyers and should be in uniform Thursday night.
Carolina's first contract offer to Primeau in July was five years for $20 million. He turned down various other offers for fewer years and less money during the past few months.
Brind Amour, an 11-year NHL veteran, had played in 484 straight games before missing the first 34 games this season with a broken left foot.
Tyson will use fight as warm-up for Lewis
BOXING
"Anything can happen in a fight and we are all aware of that," trainer Tommy Brooks said yesterday. "But Mike says he wants to look sensational and that means trouble for Julius. Julius is a great guy, but he is for a rude awakening come next Saturday."
LONDON — Mike Tyson visited Madam Tussaud's wax museum and posed next to a model of Muhammad Ali. He expects next week's opponent, Julius Francis, to be a little more mobile.
The two heavyweights meet at MEN Arena in Manchester in Tyson's latest comeback fight.
Tyson sees an impressive victory against journeyman Francis (21-7) as a stepping stone toward a bour

with Lewis toward the end of this year or early 2001.
"Our ultimate goal is Lennox Lewis," Brooks said. "That's the guy who has the belt, and that's the guy we want." Julius Francis is just a guy standing in the way of that, so that's why I brought this 223-pound sleeping pill with me from the
States. I think Mike is the only fighter out there for Lennox to make any real money. Things are in the works."
Lakers dominate NBA with Jackson at helm
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers reached the halfway point of the season with a 33-8 record — best in the NBA by two-and-a-half games.
It's been an excellent three months for a group of players branded as under-achievers. Of course, the I ams

"It's pretty much the same group from last year," forward Rick Fox said. "I thought we'd have a little slower start."
No doubt, so did many others, including Jackson.
He acknowledged recently that the Lakers had picked up his system faster than the Chicago Bulls did when he became their coach 10 years ago. led by Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen, the Bulls won six championships in the 1990s.
"The other surprise is, Portland
was the one being talked about at the beginning of the season," Fox said. "We really want to be a surprise at the end. It's been 12 years."
Woodruff advances in Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia — Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras survived a week of chaos at the Australian Open that claimed 11 of the 16 seeded men.
To nearly everyone's wonderment, a third American joined the quarterfinal party Sunday — former No. 1,342 Chris Woodruff, who is infamous in tennis circles for ... field goal kicking.
While fooling around on a football field at Atlanta in December 1997, Woodruff fell awkwardly while kicking field goals and wrecked his left knee
It was a miserable period for Woodruff. A month before the knee injury, he underwent a double hernia operation. He had been scuffing around the ATP Tour, without much success, since turning pro after winning the 1993 NCAA singles title at Tennessee. He had played in nine major tournaments and never made it past the third round.
A month later, while Sampras was on his way to winning the Australian Open for the second time. Woodruff underwent arthroscopic surgery and began a year of rehab as his ranking plummeted from No. 30 to No. 1.342
But Woodruff refused to give up on himself, and now stands among the final eight players at the Australian Open.
Woodruff had to overcome a swirling wind, 15 double-faults and some dark moments in a 3-hour, 46-minute match yesterday to defeat 11th-seeded Tim Henman 7-5, 1-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.

Aggies live up to top rankings
Despite strong races by freshmen 'Hawks, Texas A&M wins

Kansas scripter
The Kansas swimming and diving team knew it would have a tough task Saturday in College Station, Texas, against nationally ranked Texas A&M.
Unfortunately, for the Jaylawks, the Aggies lived up to their billing as the women fell 163-132 and the men lost 165-123. The loss to No. 22 Texas A&M dropped the Kansas women (4-4, 1-1 Big 12 Conference) to 500 on the season. The No. 15 Aggies kept the men winless at 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the league.
Despite the losses, there were some positives for both Jayhawk teams, which won six women's events and four men's events. Kansas also got a preview of Texas A&M's facilities, site of the Big 12's conference championships.
Coach Gary Kempf was happy with many aspects of his team's performance.
"We went into the fire against two nationally ranked teams," he said. "I was pleased with how we swam. We ran into a team a little
bit better than us. We did some things down there we wanted to do. You never like losing, as a team we did the best job we could."
The Jayhawk women received strong performances again from freshmen swimmers. Gwen Haley provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in March, posting the third fastest time in school history and winning the 400-meter individual medley in 4:20.31. She also holds the record for Kansas' fifth fastest time, which she posted earlier this season.
Freshman Lyndsay DeVaney earned her 10th and 11th wins of the season, the latter of which is a team high. Along with her win in the 500 freestyle, DeVaney's time of 9:59.79 in the 1,000 freestyle is the second sub-10 minute time in school history.
Like her classmates, freshman Beth Schryer swam strong, and finished second in three events behind DeVaneye twice and Haley once.
Junior Carolyn Grevers won the 100 breaststroke in 1.04.69. Grevers has competed in only three meets this season and has won four of the five events she has entered.
Senior captain Kerri Pribyl, who returned last week from an arm injury, won her second consecutive three-meter diving event. The Jayhawks also took home a win in the 400 freestyle relay.
Kempf, however, said his relay team of Grevers, Carrie Kirkham, Kim Waite and Carolyn Horwitz, were capable of swimming faster than its time of 3:30.87.
The men had a senior day of sorts with a couple of first-time wins. Senior Skip Reynolds put up his first win of the season by taking the 400 individual medley in 4,06.32.
Senior captain Brian Klapper won his second straight 200 butterfly race of the season. He touched the wall in 1:54.55. The 400 freestyle team of Rick Murphy, Klapper, Drew Dischinger and Matt Geitz finished first, posting a time of 3:12.50.
Senior Brandon Chestnut, who recently rejoined the team, won the 100 breaststroke in 57.03. Chestnut said it was hard to identify what he was feeling.
"It's great to be back and racing," he said. "Once you go away from it and come back, there's nothing like racing Division I. I got to talk to some guys around the conference I've become friends with. I can't describe the feeling [of not only winning but being back]. I was just happy I guess."
