HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 17). You have ideas about what should be done, how, where, and why. It's time you let others in the secret. Don't be afraid of what they'll think or say. It'll be good for them. And, in addition
to the good feeling of finally whipping everybody into shape, there could be another benefit. By next summer you should notice that you're making a lot more money.
Aries (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 7. You'll be amazed at how much you can get done when you put your mind to it. That will be the hard part. Your attention keeps drifting to thoughts of tonight and the very attractive person you'd like to share it with. First things first!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is an 8 - If you can get the day off and stay home with your loved ones, do it. It's going to be a "happy day" for you! (Those are when you're feeling too happy to go to work.) See if you can make a deal. You'll be incredibly efficient Tuesday and Wednesday.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 7- If you could pull it off, you'd probably choose to hide out for another day. Actually, if you have any days off coming your way, ask off for tomorrow and Wednesday. You won't feel like working until Thursday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Maybe you'd like to spend the day home in bed, but make sure you run a few errands first. Got food in the fridge? Microwave popcorn in the cupboard? Plenty of videos?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 5- A friend who's a little short on cash for a household project could use a helping hand. If you've known this person for ages, it should be a good investment. It may take most of tomorrow to convince your partner, however.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - There's a fortune to be made if you're smart. You have the brains, but it takes more - like the ability to put up with an obnoxious boss. And - lucky you - there are plenty of chances to practice! This is good training for dealing with wealthy, obnoxious clients who'll pay a lot for your services if you decide to jump ship.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - Today is a 7- Eeeek! Who left you with that pile of paperwork? Or is that just today's mail? You're just getting around to seeing to some things that are practically overdue already. Don't fret. You'll be highly efficient tomorrow and Wednesday, even if you're not all that efficient today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8 - The team is together and rain' to go. Everyone knows what must be accomplished, but they're not sure of how to get there. That's where you come in.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6 - Your boss wants everything done perfectly. Have you ever noticed that the people you work for tend to be like that? Amazingly, you're like that when you're the boss, too. Comply, and you'll be rewarded.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) - Today is a 6 - Explore a new idea, even if it's kind of intimidating. It could be a way to save money or make your work easier, or both. Then, discuss it with a person who can help you decide.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7-Go through your budget early and figure out how much you'll need. You'll find more money than you expected, but keep looking. Meet with loved ones tonight to figure out how you'll spend it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6 - Delegate as much work as you can to a person who wants to do it all. If you don't have a person like that in your life, hire one. It's much easier to hire one than to marry one, though you may not realize this during courtship.
Loyola coach dies at 88 his team won'63 finals
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — George Ireland, coach of Loyola's 1963 NCAA championship basketball team, died Friday. He was 88.
Ireland went 321-255 in 24 years at Loyola before retiring in 1974, taking the Ramblers to the NCAA tournament four times and to the NIT once. He had four 20-victory seasons in a five-year span in the early 1960s, including a 29-2 mark in the title year.
"I'm still proud of what they accomplished in basketball," Ireland said at a team reunion. "I'm more proud at what they've done away from basketball. Every member of that team graduated from college. Each one has succeeded in business and life."
Known by his players as "The Man," Ireland was a hard-nosed coach who yelled a lot and demanded his teams follow his rules. But he had his players' respect.
"He was hard on you, sometimes down.
right difficult on you and everyone else," said Jerry Harkness, an All-American and a member of the 1963 team. "He could be awfully rough, and he was different, but he was his own man."
A native of Madison, Wis., Ireland went to Notre Dame, where he was a starting guard to 1934-36. He was an All-American in 1935, and the 1936 squad was selected the Helms Foundation national champion.
After graduating, Ireland coached at Marmion Military Academy in Aurora from 1936-51. He then succeeded former Irish teammate John Jordan at Loyola.
Ireland is survived by his daughters, Kathy Van Dyck and Judy Schwieger, and a son, Michael, as well as eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
A funeral Mass will be held tomorrow morning at St. Lambert's Church in Skokie.

Gerald Jackson of Dodge City and Ronald McClendon of Butler County may be the top two running backs in the Jayhawk Community College Conference, but there's no question who has the better supporting cast.
McClendon rushed for 133 yards on 17 carries, scoring from 9 and 16 yards. His sidekick, Jermaine Green, totaled 104 yards on 11 carries, scoring from 11, 13 and 15 yards, and Butler County won its third straight by beating Dodge City 47-6, Saturday night in El Dorado.
Jackson, the conference's top rusher with McClendon going into the game, managed only 85 yards on 19 carries against Butler County.
In other JCCC games, Coffeyville crushed Independence 69-13, and Hutchinson squeezed past Highland, 17-13. In a nonconference contest, Fort Scott was defeated
by Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, 34-13. Garden City's game in Colorado Springs against Air Force Prep was canceled.
Butler County and Garden City, who meet Saturday night in Garden City, and Fort Scott are all 2-0 and tied for first place in the ICCC.
Butler County led at halftime, 34-0, and was never really threatened in the second half when Coach Troy Morrell began substituting liberally.
The Grizzlies finished with 459 total yards and 28 first downs.
"We went in thinking we had a good chance to win this game, but we also knew a lot of things would have to go our way for that to happen," said Dodge City Coach John Rossetti. "And, those two backs of theirs ... Whew. Man, they are fast, really fast."
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
NFL leaning toward 16 games
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The NFL is leaning toward keeping a 16-game schedule but reducing the playoff field to make up for the postponement of this weekend's games after the terrorist attacks.
Under the plan, this week's schedule would be played the weekend of Jan. 5-6 which was slated for wild-card games. The postseason then would begin the following weekend with eight playoff teams instead of 12.
The second option would simply erase the games scheduled for this weekend. That would mean 30 teams would play 15 games this season and the San Diego Chargers, who were scheduled to be off this week, would play 16.
Under that scenario, the 12-team playoff format would not be reduced.
enairman of the competition committee, told him Saturday both plans still were under consideration. The committee's decision will be an important factor in commissioner Paul Tagliabue's decision.
Fisher favors having all teams play 16 games.
Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Tampa Bay general manager Rich McKav.
Others around the league noted that rarely with the 12-team playoff format have the fifth- and six-seeded teams advanced very far in the playoffs. Last season, for example, all four of the lowest seeds were eliminated in the wild-card round.
"If we play everything, then everything will work itself out," he said.
In fact, the last time a fifth- or sixth-seeded team reached a conference championship game was after the 1996 season, when Jacksonville upset Buffalo and Denver to reach the AFC title game. The Jaguars lost to New England in that game.

Tank Younger dead at 73; spent 46 years in NFL
ST.LOUIS — Paul "Tank" Younger, the first athlete from a predominantly black college to play in the NFL, died Saturday morning in Inglewood, Calif. He was 73.
The St. Louis Rams said Younger, who spent 46 consecutive years in the NFL as a player and executive, died after a long illness
Younger played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1949 to 1957 and ended his career with Pittsburgh in 1958.
He was a member of the Rams' renowned "Bull Elephant Backfield" along with "Deacon" Dan Towler and Dick Hoerner. The Rams won the 1951 NFL title, beating Cleveland 24-17.
Younger signed with the Rams as a free agent following his college career at Grambling State in Louisiana.
BING SCHOOL With 3,296 yards, Younger is the sixth-leading rusher in Rams' history. He was a first-team All-Pro selection at linebacker in 1951.
Younger then returned to the Rams and retired in 1995. Last year, Younger was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Younger had a long career as a scout and front-office executive, mostly with the Rams. He left the Rams in 1975 to become assistant general manager of the San Diego Chargers, a job he had until 1987.
Younger is survived by wife Lucille; son Howard; and two daughters, Harriette and Lucy.

GOLF
Attacks postpone playing of the European Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup, the most anticipated golf event this season, was postponed for one year because of what the PGA of America called the "enormity of the tragedy" from terrorist attacks that left the U.S. team wary of travel and uneasy about playing.
It was the first time the biennial event was called off since 1939, when the British PGA did not send a team to Florida because of World War II in Europe. The matches did not resume until 1947.
The statement said the PGA of America had informed the European Ryder Cup Board that the scope of last Tuesday's terrorist attacks in the United States were "so overwhelming that it would be impossible for the United States Ryder Cup team and officials to attend the matches this month."
