The Canon fixed 50mm lens got some very nice mentions on photo.net.

Also, your Digital Rebel is IIRC identical to what we in Europe call the EOS350D. If that is correct, you have a “sports” setting on the turn dial on top of the camera, intended to help capturing moving subjects while keeping focus. I suggest you have a look at that in the *gasp* manual 😉
