?Dick Buechler, Xavier University tackle, on that school's 6-4 season under first-year Coach Ed Biles: "We would have presented Coach Biles with an undefeated season, but we didn't think he was ready for it."

? Tom Thacker, University of Cincinnati basketball star, on comparisons between himself and former UC great, Oscar Robertson: "I've picked up a lot of Oscar's moves, but I think I'm about 200 behind him."

? Eddie LeBaron, Dallas Cowboys' quarterback, explaining that he began playing high school football when he weighed only 114 pounds because he was shy: "I got into a line one day, thinking it was the towel line. When they handed me a football suit, I was too shy to give it back."
