European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 29, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday. October 29. 19b7 the stars and stripes Page 21 prep pick s interesting football situations loom regular season football Comet to a skid Ding halt everywhere except in Italy this weekend. Competition Down there continues through nov. 21.although there Are 20 regular season games thin week playoff Competition began last saturday in . When Woodbridge and Croughton won semifinal games Over London and Lakin Heath respectively. They meet saturday for the . Crown and the right to face the bin nor Champion on that team s Field nov. 7. London which Tost the no. 3 versus no. 2 finishers in league play in the semis plays at Atcon Bury which was huh in . Competition in theother non regular season game. That game was built into the . Playoff format several years before the Dodds Atlantic title game was authorized to give the fifth place team another , Alconbury was Given one in mid season this year when it was granted permission to entertain shape because both teams had a Bye weekend. London played Only the regular four game schedule plus the playoff game against Woodbridge. Ramstein already has won the lop seed and Homefield for the big schools semifinals but the royals Are the Only team in aaa a Competition that knows where it s going. The Winner of saturday s Heidelberg Wiesbaden game gets the second a Aberth in the playoffs however who s on first is the a  s upset of Nuernberg last week created a three wily lie for lint place Between Pitburg Hana and Nuernberg. If All three record expected wins saturday an a beat a beat a beat a situation will exist and a draw ing will be made nov. 2 to determine the a playoff representatives. The first team drawn will get the lop a seed the second gets no 2 and of third team is out according to Dodds Germany sports coordinator Tom  draw playoff possibility was discussed by the Council. According to Leblanc under the proposal Ifa three Way deadlock for fint place existed a draw ing would be made and the first team selected would get the top seed. The other two would then play for the second spot. Such a procedure would necessitate prolonging the season a week. It was decided not to use the system this Yea because playoff procedures bad been published in the official Dodds Gersuny football letter. How Ever it is a distinct possibility for the future i know that the football letter was released but think if changes for the better can be nude they should be made right now. And playing a game to decide a playoff representative is better than flipping a Coin or having a drawing. Some interesting aspects Are in line for saturday to wit a loss would eliminate that team unless All lose if Tilburg loses and Hanau and Nuernberg win Hanau gels top seed if Hanau loses and the others win Nuernberg s no. 1 and Tilburg t no. 2 if Nuernberg loses and the others win. Pitburg s no. And Hanau i no. 2 those arrangements coming about because of their head on head results in regu Lar season. The Ideal happening would be for Tilburg to get a i top spot because that would eliminate the possibility of repeat games Tilburg already has played Ramstein Hanau already has played Wiesbaden and Nuernberg already has played  and Wiessen have clinched a share of first place in the a South and a Central leagues respectively and As a result the top seeds and Home Fields in the upcoming Germany Small schools  Berlin could wind up tied for second in their respective leagues by losing but they have clinched the second place slots in those playoffs regardless of what happens this week because the have beaten their closest adversaries. So the nov. 7 semifinals find Berlin at Munich and Bamburg at Giessen. Those winners meet the next week for the Small schools title. The bin nor also has an interesting situation. Anis Home Field win Over shape and an accent Victory Over Hahn would finish regular season play with the raiders spartans and Lions deadlocked for first in another a cat a beat a Cal a happening however because of a complicated  there is no Way that accent can Advance to the Dodds allanic championship game against the Woodbridge at Croughton . I lie game win Ner. In the bin nor lib racking formal first comes ahead on head review next comes an internal tie breaker a Point differential system Between the involved teams next comes a win on the Road versus win at Home Deal with a Point being awarded for Home win and two for a Road Triumph and last since a playoff game is impossible a draw or a Coin toss. Head on head results Are out because of the every body Beai everybody action. Therefore picking a representative Falls into internal head on head games. Since shape beat accent by two Points and accent beat is by Only one the Lions jus cannot make it. If according to my mathematical calculations is wins by three or More Points i goes on if is wins by one shape has the advantage if is wins by two both teams would have Wonky two at Home and would tic mathematically necessitating action by Bennor commissioner Loy Morrow. Shape of course can eliminate All the speculation by winning because it will be the undefeated outright Bennor Champion. And that s exactly what i m predicting a 20-16shape Victory. That s Only one of 22 games on the last big week of limb climbing. 1 posted my second straight 17-5 record last week lifting the season total to 100-35, a .741 Nark. Shooting for the sky this week i also pick Wuerzburg to upset Hanau 20-14 and Kaisen untaran 11, Funk fort 8 Heidelberg 20, Wiesbaden 12 Tunu Tein 15, Mannheim 18 Nuernberg 33, Blu Nolder 18 Tilburg 28,  6 Wiessen h bad or eunuch 6 Berlin 12, Osto Holof  bimbos 26, Austin 12 Munich 33, Augsburg 12vilseci 28, us 25 afcent16,hahn7bonn 25, Brussels 0 Woodbridge 16, Craighton 11london 21, Alconbury 12 Rpu 33, Zaragoza 0 Torrejon while 27, Torrejon red 10 Naples Green 44, Naples while 28 Valanza Gold 44, Al menu White 34 stuttimrl27,palchl2 Only 13 games remain after saturday s action six in Italy and seven in playoffs. Vile cats to. Sallata is last week s offensive player of the week and the defensive accolades go tothe Hanau Rio of Joe Baker Larry Craven and Eric surface. Galiata really had one of Host Days five touch Downs and 289 Yards Rushing As the Falcons out lasted Augsburg 42-26, linebackers Baker Craven and surface were credited with a total of 33 tackles and Baker contributed a key interception As the pan thers knocked off previously undefeated Nuernberg to create that three Way a deadlock.
