They Said It

?Howie Dallmar, Stanford basketball coach, on Lew Alcindor's devastating length-of-the-court passes: "They're tough to stop. It's like rushing the passer in football. You don't know whether to go in after Alcindor or drop people back like linebackers to cover his receivers."

? Al Davis, general manager of the Oakland Raiders, the AFL's Western Division champions, after the pro football draft: "I'm not sure this socialized system is best. It doesn't seem fair to penalize a team for winning. If you can't win the championship, you're better off doing what Buffalo did—finish last and get the first pick."
