Answer
You need the long wide aperture lens (70 - 200mm f2.8) from fotoaces suggestions.
Aperture priority is the norm for most photography, shutter priority may select a high ISO (after it has run out of larger apertures to select) which will lead to noise, if your shooting for a newspaper the resolution of newsprint means that noise isn't a problem, it is very much a problem if you're shooting for magazines.
Colour balance isn't a problem with a DSLR as you can calibrate it on site with nothing more than a piece of white paper.

which lens for indoor high school sports?
Brian
I am looking to buy a lens for shooting indoor sports at high schools. I use a Canon Rebel XTi right now and plan on buying a 50D in the near future. I am not sure if the 24-105mm f/4L is fast enough due to the lower light in the gyms and pools. I was also thinking about the 70-200mm f/2.8L (without IS). I have a 17-40mm f/4L and a 70-300mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. I used the 70-300 at a basketball game from the stands, but I had to turn up the ISO and 70mm seemed to be too close if I wasn't in the stands. I think 70-200mm would be great for swimming though. Another option would be a 50mm f/1.4 prime which I will be ordering next week anyway. Thanks in advance for your advice. Any suggestions welcome.

I would go for the 70-200 2.8 (no IS). I guess you will have shutter speeds of around 500+ to get the action stopped. At those speeds you don't really need IS and the fstop is good. I use a 70-200mm 2.8 on a nikon D700 to shoot sports at night and i am happy with it.
