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."
