The team looked up to the soldiers and the soldiers watched Over them giving them advice and  Wiesbaden youth activities director Lorraine Gribben said she arranged the set up primarily As a cheap Way for the teams to play in the tournament but also to raise enthusiasm for the teams among the soldiers Here. When you re a Long Way from Home As most of these teams were you need All the support you can get she said. Most of the teams players managers and coaches agreed. The people in the Barracks met us with open arms said Vince Morrow manager of the United kingdom s bunt Waters team. They really helped us  having the soldiers lungs behind them at games also boosted team spirits. They gave us a lot of Confidence when they cheered us on said 12 year old Matt Smith of Naples. Those same lungs have been important to them after the games too. The soldiers cheered us up after we lost saudi Arabia s Tiffany Hundertmark said. They usually knew what to say to make us feel  staying in the Barracks was another exciting part of the tournament for the players. Here in the Barrac swe re a lot closer to All the people the other teams and the soldiers said 11-year-old Dan Cariss of saudi Arabia. Most of the time it s pretty  but even though almost everyone involved said they enjoyed the experience it was t without its problems. In some situations a team s manag ers coaches and players All had to be crowded into the same room which Leto lots of rambunctious behaviour and noise. When you put 14 kids in one room you re going to get 14 different personalities la fold said. But that s just kids to have a Little rowdiness and wrestling  that rowdiness was also what Many players said they would remember most about the tournament i Haven t slept the Ecsi Here Smith said. A lot of the Guys have real Bigmouth but i like it Here  there was also a lot of Good clean fun. Ben Waters players often went to sleep with stories about their coaches and awoke to the feel of toothpaste Cov ering their bodies. But those tight quarters also helped team members become closer to one another. Now they re More than friends they re like Brothers Morrow said. One thing bunking with the soldiers did not do however was to make the Little leagues want to follow in their footsteps. The soldiers have been giving stalks on not joining the army telling us Why we should to Cariss said. They have Good  the week also made Hundertmark realize that army life is not for her. I know i m never going to join she said. It s too much running for  Overall the soldiers seemed to enjoy the week As much As the Little leagues. Wiesbaden pfc. Ian Hollywood Dalbert with the base s combat aviation group that sponsored the saudi arabian team said he enjoyed the Little leagues visit and would miss his Little  i think it s going to be hard for All of us the soldiers and the kids dal Bart said. I know one thing it s going to seem empty around Here Lor a  Landry says White is cowboys a a Bubuc Syfox  the Dallas cowboys eased one problem during their 17-6 exhibition loss to Chicago sunday night forget a quarterback War in 1986. Danny White is no.  else can stand on the sideline. That includes Steve Pelluer the third year quarterback out of washing ton. Steve s prospects Are not very Good Dallas coach Tom Landry said before the game. White is too sea soned. Pelluer has a Little ways to  showing clutch ability late last year and a rocket Arm in training Camp Pelluer missed the target against the bears. He completed just three of 13 passes for 29  leaped into his first action of the year by hitting 12 of 19 for 129 Yards. Even Reggie Collier no listed on the pregame depth Chart topped Pelluer s performance. The sex Southern Mississippi a a drove the cowboys with nine passes four completions and 55  the Point Dallas tried to make when it traded Gary Hogeboom last Spring is proving True it s Texas  the reality is i have the Job " White said after sat urday s workout. Not since 1982 has White been Able to say that with conviction. He spent the next three seasons fighting with Hogeboom Over who would Start. So what else was new Roger staubach battled Craig Morton for no. 1 in the Early 1970s. White yearned to Start Over staubach later in the decade. Hogeboom grabbed his Chance when White went Down during the pfc title game i january 1983. Hogeboom s hot passing against the redskins in that final vaulted him into therb fray. Landry halted that Battle by trading Hogeboom to Indianapolis just before the May draft Gary had come to the Point where he was capable of starting Landry explained after saturday s workout at Wembley stadium. So i picked Danny and had to Trade  pushed Pelluer to no. 2 status. He knows hell stay there awhile. I Haven t proven myself yet he said. White who is 34, said i became a starter at 28 in1980. Roger became a starter in his late 20s. Pelluer s still Young 24. You can learn by observing or by making mistakes. It helps the team More to learn by observing. Steve s doing that and he s  s Only regular season experience produced the biggest Dallas touchdown of 1985. It came in the enc East title showdown against the new York giants. With White and Hogeboom Hurt Pelluer entered the huddle As the Ball sat on the Dallas 28. First he kept handing off to Tony Dorsett then on Alhird-and-15, Pelluer passed 28 Yards to Karl Powe. Pel Luer quickly directed the winning touchdown in a 28-21triumph that gave Dallas the division championship. Of yeah he was conservative Pelluer said of Landry s play selection that december afternoon. At first we were running every play. Then we put it  praises Dorsett for igniting that drive. Dor sett returns the favor by saying Steve s  also sounds pro Pelluer. He s obviously going to be the next Dallas cow boys quarterback. No question said White. He does whatever it takes. He s patient As a backup. He Holdson extra Points. There s no controversy with Steve around. He s not that kind of  has received heat for failing to Lead Dallas to a super bowl. He passed the cowboys to the pfc title game his first three years but they have since failed to win a playoff , White and Dorsett Are probably the cowboys biggest  m not in Awe of him Pelluer said of White. I respect him because i see How difficult our Job is. He done the Job and not gotten credit like he  just  a teammate said Captain comeback referring to Pelluer s giant game. White remembers that game. And although he knows he s the starter he expresses support for Pel Luer s  has a Job locked up. That s not a Good situation anytime while said. A lot of times especially in training Camp if you Don t have Competition you tend to ease up. It s always Good to have Competition. I think the Competition is As great or even greater than  time says White the fight lacks bite. That s the difference. It s not in the newspapers White said. You Don t have to answer questions about it All the  after sunday s game anyway. Koge Aiau Bacn uni ecu i Iai menu i jazz owner confident hell sign 76ers Erving _ ,.  i ii Intima Tindal Airport.
