Tom Sanders, who scored nine of his 19 points -in the last quarter and played the entire period along with Bill Russell, Sam Jones, K.

C. Jones and John Hav-licek, hit a 15-footer to tie then got loose on a fast break for a difficult, twisting layup with Jerry Lucas right on top of him that made the score 120-118 In Boston's favor. Sam Jones, who was every bit a match for Oscar this night in scoring 42 points, then drilled a 12-footer from the top of the circle, and the next play took the Royals out of the game and Oscar with It The forced an underhand shot, then In the scramble for the rebound fouled Havllcek. That was Oscar's sixth and disqualifying foul and Havllcek converted one of two free throws on the violation for a 123-118 Boston lead with 2:28 remaining. Without their quarterback, the Royals could not mount a counter-attack, getting very few good shots the rest of the way against a Boston defense that was now tightr er than a drum and knew it had Cincinantl on the run-in the end, Boston owed its victory to superior 51 shooting (49 of 96), the brilliant Sam Jones ripping in 14 of 24 himself in one of his finest playoff performances and personally bringing back the Celtics from a deficit that In the first half was a dangerous 50-37.

Sam, in fact, made all seven shots he took In the second quarter, scoring 18 points in the period and 16 of the Celtics' last 18. Here again, it was Oscar's foul trouble that played a part, Sam getting loose against Tom Thacker for most of the markers after Oscar had been shifted off of him as a precautionary measure. Bill Russell hurt the Royals badly again with 25 points and 16 rebounds, and Wayne Embry fouled out trying to contain him. Three Royals, Oscar, Embry and Hap Harrison, who managed 24 points in another starting role, did in fact, foul out, the Royals' bench and fans were enmeshed once again in a running verbal battle all night with official Joe Gushue. Presumably, though, Red Aueroach had some complaints as well.

The Royals hit 41 of 49 free throws against Boston's 34 of 4 and Red had two forwards, Sanders and Willie Naulls, in trouble most of the evening. Jerry Lucas was another In considerable foul trouble most of the night, managing to stick it out the full 48 minutes and picking up 20 points and 24 rebounds to lead the latter department and gave the Royals an edge there. The Royals reached their high mark in the game in the second period when Oscar, who had 24 of his points In the first half, shot Cincinnati Into its 13-polnt edge. The Celtics' biggest lead up until the point they made their all-important late breakout was four points, that early In the game at 19-15. They never led In the second quarter, were ahead for only brief spurts In the third period and were down by six, 99-93, after three quarters.

It was the first time the Eagles led since early in the first period when they took a 10-9 lead. After Libbey's Joe Cooke hit two free throws to tie it at 52-all, guard Jim DIchito netted a goal for Chaminade with less than 10 seconds to go and then caused a Libbey turnover with some fine defensive work In the ln-bounds play.

Libbey was forced to foul and selected Jerry Gotts-chall as the victim. But he added a token charity toss that provided the three-point victory margin. It all happened so fast McMahon Moans that Chaminade hardly had time to realize that they were playing a Libbey-styled fast-pace game in the catch-up run. Even at that, the Eagles hit ony 30.4 from the field for the game, with Libbey hitting- 40.5. Jim Gottschall, Jerry's twin, led Chaminade with 20 points.

Jerry had 15 markers and Gary Arthur, whose early play was a lack lustre performance that reeked of tourney Jitters, finished with. 12 points. Joe Cooke's 21 points led Libbey scoring. McLemore added 14 and Ed Jaynes had 11 points. Libbey finished with a 25-2 record, losing to Elyria (47-43) during the regular season.

Chamlnade's only loss was to Dayton Dunbar, 68-61. The Class AA finalists had won semifinal games here Friday night- Chaminade defeated Warren Harding, 68-60, and Libbey bested Lancaster, 60-52. Chaminade coach Jim Turvene, commenting on the sensational Eagle comeback, said, "We decided to gamble. Our plan was to press and run with them. We were hoping we'd get them Into turnovers." Truvene had a remark on Steve Cock's clincher, also.

"I put him in the game because of his reactions, defense and quickness. We were giving something away under the boards, but he did just what we wanted him to do. He got the winning basket." A crowd of 13,854 watched the Chaminade victory Saturday night, and the four tournament sessions two AA and two class A drew 55,234 fans. or something like that." It was actually seven. The slick shooting Jones was the game's top scorer with 42 points, and many of them coming when the Celtics desperately needed a basket to stay in the game.

McMahon felt the big play In the game came with 1:52 left and the Royals trailing by three and the 24 second clock running out on the Celts. "Russell (Bill) Just turns around and hooks In a hoop and that's all there was to It." Celtic coach Red Auer-bach felt the key to the game was his bench. "We kind of wore them down," smiled Auerbach. We kept putting In fresh new men; they stayed with their guys who were going good and they wore out." Auerbach, like McMahon, heaped praise on Jones, citing his streak of baskets which killed off what BY PAUL RITTER Of The Enquirer Staff COLUMBUS Two schools, located less than 10 miles apart, brought Southwestern Ohio a clean sweep in the state's high school basketball championships at Ohio State University's St. John Arena here Saturday.

Dayton Chaminade defeated Toledo Llbbey, 55-52, to become the first parochial school ever to win Ohio's Class AA championship, putting on one of the finest last-ditch rallies in the history of this tournament Earlier, New Lebanon Dixie defeated Rossford, 75-63, to win its second Class A title here in four seasons. Chamlnade's victory, the Eaglet' 12th straight and 26th against a single loss this season, gave Southwestern Ohio 22 state AA championships in 41 years, exactly half. Coach Burton Spice brought his Libby Cowboys into the final game ready and rarln' to send the favored Dayton team home empty-handed. Libbey's very quick-handed defense caused the Eagles to make an unusually high number of mistakes and forced them to rush shooting opportunities. In the first period, Libbey went right to work with Joe Cooke.

Cooke and McLemore continued to carry the load in the second period, was still unable to find the range from the field and Libbey went to the halftime rest with a 26-20 edge. In that first half Chaminade hit only 297c of its field goal attempts, constantly bothered by Toledo's 'quick defensive work. meanwhile, had hit for 11.7 from the floor and ooke and McLemore had 19 of the team's 26 markers.

the third Libbey looked as though it had locked up the surprise victory over Chaminade as the Eagles got only nine points to Libbey's 18 and fell behind 44-29. But when that final quarter began, it was as though the Eagles sensed the em-barrasment, and they came roaring down the stretch in a' quick-packed rally that saw them outpoint the Cowboys, 26-8, in the period and pullout the decision. Libbey began to panic at the very start of the period, aod Chamlnade's shooting game sharpened. With a minute and 45 seconds to play, Eagle center Gary Arthur hit a basket that tied the score at 50-apiece.

"I can't say enough for the game Sam played," said McMahon as he prepared his team for a midnight flight to Boston for the third game in the series this afternoon. "We had them beat by 11 points and then Sam came on and just beat us to denth," added the Royals' coach while fingering Jones' name on the statistics sheet.
