The change was for economic purposes according to Dodds Germany sports coordinator Tom Leblanc. A since there no longer is a duty train Berlin now makes All its trips by bus a Leblanc said. A it has been determined that it is a More direct More economical journey for Berlin to go to the schools in the South. Therefore the Berlin and Ulm conference schedules will be  Ulm principal Gordon Gartner Wasny to Overly enthusiastic about the change because of the Strong rivalry Ulm has developed with neighbouring Munich and Augsburg High schools. A this is our last year and we wont be Able to play Augsburg and Munich in our traditional basketball games. Because they Are so close it never was a problem to schedule Home and Home games which Are Ideal in basketball. We have always enjoyed playing those teams especially when we won a Gartner said. A i suppose Dodds will save a certain amount of Money but perhaps we could have saved As much maybe a Little More by having Ansbach which is much closer Trade schedules with Berlin a he continued. A it must be really exciting for Berlin to be Able to travel by bus after having had to endure 40-plus years of torturous duty train  switching leagues is commonplace in Dodds Germany because the league Structure is based on school enrolment and some changes Are made every year. Sometimes schools Are elevated or dropped in classification from one year to the next a Baum older for instance won the big schools football title in 1983 and this year it is in the Small schools playoffs. The Baum older girls also won the big schools basketball tournament in 1985. However changing horses in Midstream seems a Little silly. Why  the change have been made next year especially since this is Ulm a last year As a High school and changes will have to be made again when the new schedules Are arranged the stars and stripes Tampras wins despite pro Steeb crowd Bubuc Syfox staff writer Aris a introducing Paris Pete.

That left Sampras with a clapping stomping crowd a rooting for a Steeb upset. Did that turn Sampras off hardly. A i enjoyed it a Sampras said in the crowded press conference. A last week in Stockholm the crowd was Dull. This was like in new York during the . Open. They were into the match. I like  what a change from 1989. Sampras  even qualify Here last year. He entered the 1990 season ranked 81st. Now he a no. 5, thanks to his Blitz of Andre Agassi in the . Open final in september. A a in a still a Little bit in Awe a Sampras said of his open show which included victories Over Thomas Muster Ivan Lendl and John Mcenroe. Sampras is also a Little bit put off by the crush Here.
