European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 11, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday december 11, 1966 the stars and stripes Page 21 to Poff facedown times hit Dodds High school basketball commences this weekend s2f5l Germany aaa and to some extent in Sites different i what. The girl Sand boys will not be playing at the same site on the same nights. Also there will be a number of tuesday thu Yea it playing s8"1" having the boys and girls play Ai opposite Sites is a Pilot program we re trying to Tripleti Hii year � said Tom Blanc Doddis Germany athletic Coo a Dunmor it also has an effect on the double a earns in Pineir non conference Competition. Normally Bot boys and girls in thai league have been scheduled together but the non conference action follows the Tuple a s opposite site tuesday  a Bianc said that tuesday Jav games Are sch cd tiled 10 Start at 5 30 . With Writy games begin Ming around 7 ., with Friday s starting times half in other years there were usually iwo Jav games a girls varsity game and a boys varsity  Taxt one usually did t get under Way much before 8 30 or 9 ., making for Laie evenings very late evenings for visiting teams. That obviously would t be apropos for tuesday scheduling. In new York. Florida and Illinois where i have visited in recent years the girls and coys never play at the same place the same Day. Dodds tried separate girls boys tournaments in1979. The boys Oom Peled at Ramstein and the girls at Augsburg. Principal Arnie Goldstein suggested staging separate tournament and volunteered to hold the girls meet at Augsburg. The tournament proper was a Success itself but things reverted Back to the old arrangement in 1980. One reason was that no one in Dodds Germany volunteered to stage the girls event. Another Factor was thai in 1979, the boys logistics and awards were to much better than the girls logistics and awards and some of the girls team coaches we requite unhappy. Leblanc said the boys and girls will compete at the same tournament Sites in february the Small schools at Munich feb. 12-14, the big schools at Mannheim feb 19-21. Scheduling the tournaments Over different weekends is a Good move because More people will have the Opportunity to see the athletes in action. Midweek games Are nothing new in the . They be been doing thai for years but ironically there is Only one on this year s . Agenda. The midweek action is being tried out this year in the aaa the Germany division which a Best suited Tor it because the travel requirements Aren t so severe. The american schools in Italy league bounces into action next week but teams in Spain and tur key Don t dribble onto the courts for Al least another month Turkey commencing on Jan. 16 and Spain a week later. Leblanc also said the time clock and three Point Field goal will not be used in Dodds German school this year. It would be difficult to use the three Point Field goal he said because All the schools Don t have their Nauru property marked As yet. We have suggested that when they redo their gym floors thai they should include the three Point lines. Perhaps by next year we will be Able to use that aspect of the game. I think it makes the games More  i agree that the three pint play could be exciting but Hope the time clock never never becomes part of the Dodds game. I just Don t think a learn should be punished be cause it is ahead. Especially a team that is a decided underdog is playing its Best game of the year and has aspirations of upsetting a perennial Power an playing control basketball is the Only Way in can be done. Again the stars and stripes wants reports on All games.
