They Said It

? Darrell Royal, Texas coach, on his giant 6-foot-3, 260-pound freshman tackle, Jerry Oliver: "He has the biggest hands and feet I've seen. We're going to X-ray his big toe. I think it has a liver in it."

? Happy Chandler: "I thought baseball was a sport when I became a commissioner. I was mistaken. The semibandits own it."

? West Point Coach Paul Dietzel, on criticisms of the Cadets' cheering section: "Compared to the cheering sections at LSU, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia Tech, the Cadets are the most polite guys in football."
