They Said It

?Brendon Coe, 10-year-old pitcher, when, to promote dental care, Little League officials in Mill Valley, Calif. began serving kumquats, sesame crunch and apple-boysenberry juice at the refreshment stands instead of soft drinks and candy: "Yecch!"

? Labron Harris Jr., PGA tournament official, on the rescheduling of the Bob Hope Desert Classic from February to January: "We think it has a much better chance to be as good as always."

? Darryl Dawkins, Philadelphia 76er center, just before he took a vow of silence with sportswriters: "Nothing means nothing, but it isn't really nothing because nothing is something that isn't."

?Rich Makoff, basketball coach of the Crossroads School in Santa Monica, Calif., on the selection of Donald McCleary, a junior, to a high school All-America team: "He's only five-eleven, but he outjumped guys six feet tall all year long."
