? Milt Pappas, brash 24-year-old pitcher offering to take over as manager of the Baltimore Orioles: "Everyone says the Orioles need color; I'd give it to them by going back to my original name—Miltiadis Papastedgios."

? Jack McMahon, Cincinnati Royals' coach, on Boston's defensive genius. Bill Russell: "The minute you make a move, you have to assume he's coming from some place; he borders on ruining the game."

?J T King, Texas Tech football coach, sending a substitute into game against SMU: "Tell Elledge to throw a sideline pass—to you if you're open, to me if you're not."
