They Said It

? Sam Snead, on his perennial putting ills: "I shot a wild elephant in Africa 30 yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four-foot putt scares me to death."

? Dave Stallworth, Wichita State basketball All-America: "I'll tell you one thing about girls' basketball. It's a lot more fun to watch."

? Rick Reichardt, Los Angeles Angels, $200,000 bonus baby: "I still can't get used to not writing home for money."

? Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, when asked if he would sign his 8-year-old son Lamar Jr. to a Chief contract: "No, I'm hoping he'll be drafted by the Jets."
