HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 29). You should do well this year through work, not luck. Clean up your lifestyle in December, and you'll be much happier, too. You're rolling in dough in January. Use some to pay back an old debt. Fantasy and reality don't match in February unless you're creative. Friends teach you a new trick in April. Keep plodding away in May, and your rewards will follow. Heed your mate's advice in June and save a lot of trouble. An educational adventure would be perfect for September.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Your initial effort might not go as well as planned. You can achieve your goal through an older person's help. This could lead to a promotion or a raise in pay. Don't shut down. Share your idea with a person who can do something about it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Don't be stopped by the first problem that gets in your way. If you persist, you can succeed. Travel will also work out well, eventually. Don't be alarmed if you run into a snag. Try another tactic, and you'll get around it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
You need to follow through on something you've promised. This may involve paying a debt. Scrape together as much as you can, and you'll feel better
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Carter 20-28
Your partner has everything figured out, hopefully the way you want it. The other person is about to make some big choices, so stay involved. You don't want your needs to be overlocked. Holler, if necessary, to get your point across.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
More work comes in, but the money's not showing up yet. Do keep doing what's required and don't complain. Do a little more than what's required, and you're payback will be more generous. It won't all be in money, though.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is an 8.
You can get better than just about anybody today. This gives you an advantage. Traveling with your sweetheart to a favorite place should work well. Have dinner while you're out there.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a $ ^{5} $
You may be bothered by domestic matters. You want to change or fix something, but you only want the best. You can't afford it, now. Talk to a person with more experience. It might be best to keep saving for a while.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're using new skills, and they're working well.
You're in over your head, but if you have on a flotation device, you should be OK. In other words, proceed with caution.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You could get more work soon — and even more money. It's not easy yet, but at least it's finally lucrative. Just keep doing what you're doing and have faith. This is going to pay off, eventually.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You're in the catbird seat. That's partially because you're so darned good-looking. People just can't turn you down. Even though some of them are a little standoffish at first, you can bring them around. Just keep at it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
Something you've been thinking about doing for a long time can finally happen. It's not due to luck; it's from your hard work. This involves your home and family, and the next few days are perfect. Go for it!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You love to be helpful, and you've got the oppor-
tunity to help out a lot. Your experience is some-
thing the others are relying upon to achieve their
goals. Don't be shy about letting them know what
they should do next.

The TimmeAngsten Regatta is considered the fall national championship of collegiate sailing.
DALLAS — Texas Tech's Katrisa O'Neal was named the Big 12 Conference player of the week yesterday after leading the Lady Raiders to wins against Top 25 teams Penn State and Southwest Missouri.
O'Neal averaged 17 points and three rebounds during the week and scored a career-high 24 points in a 79-71 victory against Penn State. The wins moved Tech to No. 10 in the AP's Top 25.
Kansas State's Nicole Ohlde, the Wildcats' leading scorer and reboucher, earned rookie of the week honors after averaging 22 points and 12.5 rebounds during the Oregon State Beaver Classic.
in her second collegiate game, Ohide set a school record for most points by a freshman with 36 and tied the freshman rebounding record with 19 in a 73-70 overtime loss to Wyoming.
TORONTO — Eric Lindros wants to play with the Toronto Maple Leafs now that he has been cleared by his doctor to resume his NHL career after his latest concussion.
Lindros cleared to return may play for Toronto
There is a lot of risk involved from a medical point of view but I've been cleared and I feel good." Lindros said. "I'd really like to play in Toronto. It's a great organization, a great city and being from here, it just seems to be a good fit. I mean I see it that way and hopefully we'll see what happens."
NHL
He was asked repeatedly if Toronto was the only NHL team he would play for, but Lindros would not give a direct answer.
Lindros, a restricted free agent, said Fliers general manager Bob Clarke had asked him to make a deal with another team.
The 27-year-old center was born in London, Ontario, about a two-hour drive from Toronto. He also played junior hockey in Oshawa, a Toronto suburb.
However, Clarke said yesterday he had not asked Lindros to make any deal.
"We haven't had any offers at all from any team for Eric," Clarke said. "We're certainly not going to try and stop Eric from playing in the National Hockey League, but we are going to make the best deal with any club that we can for the Flivers."
Lindros has not played since sustaining his sixth concession in more than two years. He was checked by New Jersey's Scott Stevens while playing for Philadelphia in May. He was appearing in only his second game after a 21/2-month absence because of postconcussion syndrome.
In July, Lindros rejected Philadelphia's $8.5 million qualifying offer. That means he has the right to sign with another team, but the
Flyers have matching rights.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder has made it clear he will not play for Philadelphia again. Clarke has said he wanted full value in return for the all-star despite his medical history.
NASCAR
President of NASCAR steps down from post
Bill France Jr. stepped down yesterday as president of NASCAR, the racing circuit his father founded in the 1940s that has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry.
France was replaced by Mike Helton, who has been overseeing day-to-day operations for nearly two years.
The 67-year-old France disclosed in 1999 he had cancer and had missed many races this season. Earlier this month, however, he appeared at the Pennzoil 400 at Homestead-Miami Raceway and said he was feeling much better and spending more time at the office.
France, who succeeded his father, Bill Sr., as president of the sanctioning board for stock car racing in 1972, will serve as chairman of a new five-member board of directors.
Under France, NASCAR grew from the tiny dirt tracks of the backwoods South to a sport that is now worth $2,4 billion in TV rights.
"Mike Helton is a well-respected member of the NASCAR community who has a great understanding of the sport and its values," France said. "Mike is well-suited to carry on the tradition of strong leadership at NASCAR, not only within our offices but for the entire industry."

Bob Stoops needed just one season to make Oklahoma respectable in the conference. In his second season, the Sooners are more than respectable — they're No. 1 in the country, and Stoops is the overwhelming choice as Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Stoops received 17 of 20 votes in balloting by sportswriters throughout the conference. Dan McCarney, who led Iowa State to an 8-3 season and its first bowl game since 1978, received the other three votes.
"That's an award to me is given to the entire coaching staff," Stoops said. "I'm appreciative and honored. I'm fortunate to work with the guys I work with every day. These coaches are excellent. We've got a great rapport in our office and our day-to-day working environment. I think every one of us can't wait to get to work."
When Stoops became Oklahoma's coach in December he inherited a team that had won just 12 games in the previous three years. What he found were players who lacked confidence and had poor work habits, and he quickly went about changing that.
Offensive coordinator Mark Mangino points to three factors in Stoops' success: his positive attitude, his refusal to accept excuses
But Stoops' players point to him. They say he is demanding but fair and always consistent in his approach.
and his embracing of high expectations. "He didn't come in and say, 'We're going to have to wait awhile until we recruit our own players,'" Mangino said.
"Before, if we went on the road and got beat, on the way back, everybody would be laughing, giggling, having fun," said senior offensive tackle Scott Kempenich. "It didn't hurt to lose, and that's
It didn't hurt the thing that changed a lot.
"Even when we win. There's been a couple games we won and I didn't play my best, and I wasn't
even really happy because I knew I had to get better. That's a totally different attitude than in the past. In past when we won, everything was great."
Receiver Damian Mackey said the off-season and summer workouts out Since Stoops are much more difficult than they were under the previous regime.
"You can't take away the fact coach Stoops is a great motivator." Mackey said. "There's something about the way coach Stoops preaches to our team, it makes us
feel like we can't lose."
Oklahoma has done plenty of winning this year. After starting out with four victories at home, the Sooners faced a rugged October — games against No. 11 Texas in Dallas, at No. 2 Kansas State, and at home against No. 1 Nebraska.
The Sooners swept all three to move to No.1, where they have staved.
"I've said that all along, that we never had a date when we'd be in this position," Stoops said after the Nebraska game. "We've just taken the approach that we're going to get better each and every week as a team, we're going to get better each and every month as a team. That's how we started and that's how we've progressed."
Now Oklahoma has moved within two victories of its seventh national championship. The school administration recently rewarded Stoops by extending his contract and doubling his salary to about $1.4 million per year.
"It's really a point, almost, where you start to reach for new superlatives when you try to describe his impact on this program in two years," said athletics director Joe Castiglione. "He has a real knack for creating an environment that inspires people to be successful."
