HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
You might take off on an adventure. It would be a good idea to have your team's support. Check with a more experienced person to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Otherwise, only dispense information on a need-to-know basis.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Instead of worrying about your money, count it. Play with it. Figure out how much you'll have in five and ten years at the present rate of return. Travel looks good tomorrow, so make plans to do that. Meanwhile, figure out how much you can afford to spend.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
There's a bit of a controversy brewing. Don't bite into somebody who disagrees with you. Be respectful. You're the student, and the other person is the teacher. Assume that attitude, and you'll be much more successful — and happier, too.
Cancer; Today is a 6.
There's plenty of work to do, and more comes in all the time. Look sharp; things could change quickly. Watch for surprises. You may not feel that great, either. Keep distractions to a minimum and watch out for breakage. Stay calm; it'll help.
Leo: Today is a 7.
The object of your affection is playing hard to get. Don't come on too strong. Be compassionate, warm and loving instead. Go along with the rules the other person sets. If you do it your way, you'll get nowhere.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Does something at home need to be fixed or rearranged? Is there something you'd love to throw away so you'd have an excuse to buy new? Could you clean out the garage and rent it as a spare room? Do something that changes your life forever — for the better.
Libra; Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Today should be interesting and amusing.
Don't forget to do something you promised,
though. If you get that one little detail checked
off your list, you could receive a nice benefit.
If you forget it, you could miss a great opportunity.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Try not to draw attention to yourself. You're not quite ready to answer questions yet. If you run into the reporters, don't take the Fifth. That will cause suspicion. Be friendly but noncommittal, instead.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You could advance in your career again today. You may have been reluctant to take this next step, but it should turn out OK. You have your friends' support, so trust their advice. Follow your sweetheart's suggestion, too.
Today you're under pressure, and something's nagging at the back of your brain. It might be someone who's chipping away at you, but it might be the voice inside your own head. Either way, once the job is done, you can relax.
You can get a lot done today, especially if you've got a team. They're in the mood to do what you say, so be direct. Something that you thought would work could disappoint you, however. Be ready with Plan B.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
try tor that promotion or better job even if you're not sure you can get it. It might not happen yet, but you'll never get where you want to go if you're not headed in the right direction. It's not really easy, but it could be profitable.

MISHAWAKA, Ind. — Marvin Wood, coach of the Milan High School basketball team that won the 1954 state championship and inspired the movie Hoosiers, died yesterday of bone cancer. He was 71.

BASKETBALL
He was at Milan only two seasons, but that's where he will be best remembered. Wood took the tiny school to the state finals in 1953 and to the championship the next season, upsetting favored Muncie Central in the championship game.
Wood, a native of Morristown, played for Tony Hinkle at Butter and later coached at French Lick, New Castle, Indianapolis North Central and Mishawaka high schools, as well as the women's team at St. Mary's College in South Bend.
The cancer was in remission for more than seven years but returned last winter. At the time, Wood was coaching his granddaughter's seventh-grade team in Kirtland, Ohio.
Gene Hackman played the role of Wood in the 1987 movie, guiding the fictitious Hickory High to a shocking upset in the title game.
A funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday in the First Methodist Church in Mishawaka.

Former USGA president dies at age 104 at home

the U.S. Golf Association who helped unify the rules of golf, has died at 104 at his Wilmington home.
"He was an extraordinary figure," said Grainger's nephew, Walker Taylor.
Born in Wilmington in 1895, Grainger attended Princeton and during World War I served as an infantry captain and as an instructor in officer training schools.
VIRGINIA WATER, England — Notah Begay WILDED to used to two dabs of ceremonial red clay on his cheeks before a tough golf match
— a Native-American custom as they begin an extremely challenging iourmev.
He has had two victories in the last two months — including a playoff in the Michelob Championship in Williamsburg, Va., Sunday — in his first season on the world's toughest circuit.
Begay gave up the ritual a few years ago. The only Native American playing on the U.S. PGA Tour has shown he can win without what his opponents used to call war paint.

Begay is the only full-blooded Native American ever to win a U.S. Tour event. He lived for seven years on a reservation south of Albuquerque, N.M., and was Tiger Woods' teammate four years ago at Stanford University.
He puts both left- and right-handed, depending on the break, and has an unorthodox, self-made swing.
Begay, who faces two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal in the 36-hole first round, is in a 12-man field that includes defending champion Mark O'Meara, two-time U.S. Open champion Ernie Els, three-time majors winner Nick Price and top European player Colin Montgomerie,

In New York yesterday to promote next month's Chase Championships, Williams said it was a joke that got out of hand.
"I was sitting with the tournament director and asked him for a wild card," she said. "He said, 'I'm going to announce it.' It was all done in fun."

against Chamberlain in the 1957 NCAA national championship game — a triple-overtime game won by North Carolina that Chamberlain later in his life called the biggest disappointment that he ever felt.
"People were in awe of how big he was," Williams said Smith told him. "He made Eric Chenowith look like a point guard."
However, beyond his size and imposing presence, Williams said that he marveled at the wide variety of things Chamberlain could do on the court.

"The most amazing thing to me is the wide variety of skills he had. If one year he decided to lead the league in assists, he did," Williams said. "They changed the game because of him — very few people do they change the game for."
With the kickoff to Kansas' basketball season scheduled for tomorrow at Late Night, Williams said that he expected a moment of silence for Chamberlain and that he would discuss with the team how it could honor the Kansas legend during the coming season.
Yesterday, others around the
nation mourned Chamberlain's death immediately.
At the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., flags flew at half-mast and an exhibit was set up honoring him. Included in the exhibit were sneakers, photographs and jerseys — including the one he wore when he scored 100 points in a single game in 1962 — as well as a
small, black wreath with the date of his death hanging over a silver medallion with his picture on it.
Funeral arrangements are set for noon Saturday at the City of Angels Church of Religious Science in Los Angeles.
