They Said It

?The Rev. Timothy S. Healy, president of Georgetown, asked why his school's basketball success seemed to cause more excitement in other parts of Washington than in the fashionable community in which the university is situated: "In the immediate neighborhood, I'd take a long guess that the major sport is riding to hounds."

? Calvin Griffith, Minnesota Twins owner, on rookie Jim Eisenreich: "I saw that kid play at Wisconsin Rapids last year. I knew immediately he was doomed to become an All-Star centerfielder."

?Jimmy Davy, sportswriter for the Nashville Tennessean, after Indiana's 94-62 rout of Robert Morris in the NCAA tournament's Mideast Regional: " Robert Morris just got itself 100 invitations to Christmas tournaments."
