I am going to be in the Los Angeles area from 12/31/92 to 1/9/93.  Are
there any volleyball clinics out there that I could attend?  I've never
had any formal coaching and could really use the help.

Thanks,
Chris Wyse

This summer I was playing a grass doubles tourney in which

and a few points here and there, we came back and won, 22-20.

That single game took almost 90 minutes.  We survived the

giving me my first "Open" victory.  Sorry, had to throw

I've always been under the impression that you can move (overlap)
as soon as the ball is contacted for the serve.  But not for sure.

No but the English tabloids had already decided Leeds would destroy Rangers.
Lucky Leeds get an easy passage to the quarter finals.  Even with Rangers winning 4-1 on aggregate the ITV commentaryteam were admitting Rangers were almost as good as Leeds and playing their part in 2 very entertaining games.
Frankly I thought Rangers played them off the park.

Certainly the English league is superior to the Scottish league.  However
the top Scottish clubs would hold their own in the premier division and
Rangers are currently one of the top clubs in Britain.  They did not get that recognition before this tie.

 Mark, I am as fanatical as they come when it comes to LFC and agree with
all of your comments up to the above point. Even I must agree with alot of
the comments made on the net about Liverpool this season, and believe that
your prediction of an LFC double this year are pure fantasy. Right now, the
biggest concern is not to repeat Man Utd's and Leeds' one season disasters
that resulted in relegation (God knows I never thought I would see the day
when I would be saying this!!), and in Leeds' case took many years to
recover.

On the bright side though, I suppose the last time we were relegated we
signed Shanks as manager, perhaps we can dream of a second coming ;-), but
a double this year ? Not a hope.    

As for Blackburn, do not underestimate the wiliest Scot of them all, King
Kenny would love nothing more than to take his club back to Anfield and
administer a good hammering. On present form I would unfortunately not bet
against him being able to do it

I watched the Aston Villa game on TV last night, and Ferguson (the one on
the pitch didn't do too badly).  His main failing seemed to be not enough
pushing forward from midfield to support the forwards after he'd passed
the ball to them.  His ball passing skills seem quite good and he did
race back to defend in a couple of pressure situations.  Manchester United
had trouble at the back with (it seemed) Bruce and Pallister continually
arguing about who should be doing what.  They were caught square on a
number of occasions and Blackmore seemed less comfortable at left back
than he did when he came on into midfield in some recent games.  McLair
was on the bench and didn't come on till late in the game.  He has only
scored one goal this season so that's his lot at the moment, although I do
agree that he is a very hard worker on the field, both on and off the ball.
Sharpe flashed in and out of the game and looked good on a few occasions.
With some more match practice he should clearly help their attack.  As for
Villa, their back four, especially McGrath and Thiele(sp?) were very solid,
and Atkinson and Saunders always looked dangerous.

Subject: Re: Cup Results for Italian Teams (2nd Round - 2nd Leg: Nov 4 Games)

A few corrections on the Grasshoppers-Roma game, which by the way was the
most exciting among those involving Italian teams...
Indeed, in the 1st half Roma was up 2-0, with goals scored by Rizzitelli
and Caniggia. It seemed over, since Roma had won 3-0 at home, but things
suddenly changed... The Swiss scored at the end of the half on a penalty
kick by De Vicente, and at the beginning of the 2nd half Sutter made it
2-2 with a great long distance shot. Few more minutes, and Gamperle gave
Grasshoppers the lead; and then Aldair saved Roma's goal by kicking the
ball away right on nthe goal line (perhaps the ball had even passed the line,
but anyway the referee didn't see it). After this the Swiss goalie was sent off
for fouling Rizzitelli outside the box; but again, after few minutes, a 
header by De Vicente slipped out of Cervone's hands, hit the post, then
Cervone's body and rolled past the goal line (this time perhaps Cervone
had got it in time, but the referee awarded the goal, so...). Now the score
was 4-2, and Grasshoppers needed "only" 2 goals in 20 minutes: it didn't
seem impossible, since Roma's defense was looking very shaky. But Roma
resisted, and finally the Swiss got tired and Roma could have some chances
on counterattacks. Haessler had a great opportunity when Roma was awarded
a penalty kick, but missed it. Only at the end of the game Rizzitelli was
able to score the goal that freed Roma from the fear of an incredible
Swiss comeback !

Have you noticed that the top team in the English Premier
league has a goal difference of

                       +0   ?

Is this some sort of record?


Talking about Norwich, have you noticed over the last ten years or so
that they have bought a lot of players for peanuts, and then sold them
after a few years for MILLIONS OF POUNDS. Does anyone know how many
players they have sold for a fortune over the years? (For example, I
seem to remember them conning Man. City into buying that crap player
Reeves for over a million pounds.) I would love to know how much money 
they've made this way. What the hell do they do with all that money?????
Give them credit, they're selling players for lots of money (Townsend,
Fleck, etc.) and still getting results on the park. But that's because
they have been lucky (IMHO). If Norwich finish above Arsenal or 
Aston Villa at the end of the season, I'll eat my hat.
