Quotable quotes

Dartmouth basketball coach Reggie Minton on his frisky, but sometimes overmatched team: ''We're like that old Timex watch commercial - we take a licking and keep on ticking.''

Hockey Hall of Famer Ken Dryden on being a netminder: ''The goalie cannot initiate the action. He's back there to respond to whatever he gets, whether a hundred shots or no shots. He can't control that. What he has to do is give the team what it needs when it needs it.''
