They Said It

? Los Angeles Laker Dick Barnett, talking about his new teammate, Hub Reed: "He comes from so far out in the sticks, baby, they have to pump daylight in."

?Dr. Douglas Maitland Knight, new president of Duke University: "I'm not against college athletics as long as you can keep the gambler and the gladiator out of it. By gladiator I mean the boy who comes to college only because he has a gift for the sport. He has a certain genius for it, and other than that he has no interest in college at all."
