? Tommy McDonald, after his Eagles were butchered by Green Bay 49-0: "I hear the Packers are going on the New York Stock Exchange. If so, I want a piece of them."

? Jack Curtice, Stanford coach, on his team's loss to Southern Cal: "We did everything we were supposed to do. We held Willie Brown to one yard, Hal Bed-sole caught only two passes, Ben Wilson was contained. So, who was that that beat us 39-14?"

? Joe Louis, after watching Elvis Presley in the film Kid Galahad: "He boxes better than he sings."

?Pat Culpepper, Texas linebacker and All-America prospect, explaining his fierce desire: "I've got to hit somebody every play; that's what I'm there for. I might be the biggest coward in town after the game, but while it's going I'm prepared to fight anybody."

? Sonny Liston at a Los Angeles press conference: "I don't care where I fight Floyd Patterson, just so we get paid. One of you guys want to put it on in your basement and you got cash—in the basement we goin'."
