DAILY CHRONICLE, DeKalb, Illinois, Tuesday, Jon. 4, 1 972 1 3 Frazier Keys Victory Sportin' With Stan By Stan Shalett Sports Editor Knicks 'SMnning Rally Tips Bucks was fouled on the last play of Pro NEW YORK (UPI) -The -Milwaukee Bucks, beaten by Walt Frazier's 15-foot jumper with three seconds remaining Monday night, get a chance for revenge in tonight's second half of a back-to-back set with the New York Knicks. Frazier's basket capped a string of 13 straight points by the New York guard and provided tlj.e Knicks with a 10199 comeback victory. The last from the top of. the key, Robertson slipped while try ing to guard Frazier on the shot.

"I was really surprised when I got the open shot," Frazier said. "I started badly, hitting only one of seven shots in the first half. But when began connecting I gained confidence." Knicks Credit Lucas The Knicks credited Jerry Lucas with holding Abdul JabV bar to 15 points in the second half after the Milwaukee center netted 23 in the opening half. This was the Knicks first confrontation against a Jab-bar-led team without Willis Reed. They seemed to be playing this one for the "cap'n." Frazier's Impressive Show Earns NumerousCompliments reached victories in the last 13 games between the clubs.

Entering the game with a marksmanship of 21 points or better in his previous 16 games, FrazlCr was limited to six pointy n. the first half on Oscar Robertson's dose guarding. The bearded Knick back--' court wonder broke a 99-all tie after stealing the ball at mid-court and hitting on his shot "It could've been," laughed Frazier. "I know the game was just another game in the standings but I was a little tight. Really, I was embarrassed the way I was playing.

I knew It was a national televised game and my parents were watching in Atlanta, Georgia. I wanted to play well but I realized I wasn't I had only six points at the half." Walt Frazier got a little better as the game went on. Enough so that he got a rise, out of Bill Russell. That seldom happens. Enough so- that he also got one out of Bobby Fischer.

And that simply never happened before. era game turned into a personal scoring duel between Frazier and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who tallied Milwaukee's last eight points. "There's tomorrow night," said Abdul-Jabbar, sitting dejectedly In the' Milwaukee dressing room after he scored a game-high 38 points to 31 for Frazier. Abdul-Jabbar thought he ran off 13 straight points in the final 2:38, collaborated with Phil Jackson in a vital heart-stopping "steal" 20 seconds from the end and wound up receiving one of the most tumultuous ovations ever accorded any athlete at Madison Square Garden for leading the Knicks to a 101-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in a movielike finish. that's the only way to describe it," said Bill Russell, on hand to do the color commentary for national TV.

"The last time I ever saw anything like it was in 1958 when Bob Pettit scored 51 points in the final game of the playoffs against us (Boston). They (St. Louis) beat us and he got 19 of their last 21 points." Bobby Fischer blinked his eyes when he saw the Knicks gain possession 20 seconds from the end with the score tied 99all. Earl Monroe passed off to Bill Bradley on his left Bradley gave the ball to Frazier, who nearly lost it, but quickly regained control and began his move with eight seconds left Frazier killed five more seconds and then with only three remaining, he hit with a jumper and the whole place went plumb mad. "You're used to complete quiet when you play," Dave DeBusschere said to Bobby Fischer in the Knicks' dressing room afterward.

"What did you think?" two- minutes of the I still can't get over the Miami-Baltimore game. This was perhaps one of the most exciting football games played this year, and like the statistics, the final score almost no. relationship to the outcome of the game. Dick Anderson's long touchdown run with an intercepted pass is going to go down in history as one of the best football plays of all time. Did you see the- blocking! I think I've seen that play re-run about seven times and each time I marvel at the way the Dolphins peeled back and stripped Baltimore of its pursuers.

I just cant get over the way that the-Dolphins played defense. They let John Unitas move the ball through the middle of the field, but tightened up as the Colts got close to the goal line. I felt that the blocked field goal in the second quarter with Miami leading 7-0, was the turning point of the game. From that point on, the Colts went down hill. In a way, it was a shame for Unitas to be so mistreated by the Dolphins.

John is a definite hall of famer, but his talents have been robbed by the clock and calendar. 1 Ten years ago, nobody would have been able to cope with his great ball handling and passing ability. It looks as if Bob Greise is going to supplant him. Griese used his passing attack delicately, like a chef with spices, and made it work. He combined with Paul Warfield only twice in the entire game, but the two passes tallied one touchdown and set up a second.

I don't know whether the Dolphins can put it all together one more time in the Super Bowl, but I'm sure they will give it a great effort. The player who stands out above all the rest in the championship games for me at least is Roger Staubach, who piloted the Dallas Cowboys to the NFC title. Staubach has given the Cowboys great stability with his quarterbacking. He has something that neither Don Meredith had or Craig Morton has. He can run the team.

Staubach has been one of the special sports heroes of this decade. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy and then faded into oblivion as an ensign in the navy. He completed his required tour of duty before turning to pro sports and sat on the bench while he learned the game. Roger never voiced his unhappiness over his spear carrier role. This year he shared the starting berth with Morton until Craig played his way out of a starting job.

Since Staubach has been the only 1 quarterback on the have won nine straight games There was no other action in the National Basketball Asso-' elation Monday night.

Winds Up in Mid-Court '1 weigh 237 pounds, but I wound up at mid-court on the play," he complained. "I wasn't pulled there by magnets." Frazier was the key to New York's continued hex over Milwaukee which now has it "Very exciting," Fischer said, giving the question proper thought before answer-: ing. "What did you think of someone else asked the blond chess whiz. "Extraordinary," Fischer said, much more quickly this time.

"Fantastic," put in DeBusschere. "He was just Incredible at the end." Reed, sitting on the Knicks' bench with tendonitis, called Frazier's performance "unbelievable" -and Monroe remarked "It's getting so you sort of expect it from Oscar Robertson, who vainly tried to keep Frazier from getting off his game-winning shot, said, "You can't take it away from him, he played a great game" and. Jabbar agreed "he hit some tough' shots there at the end." Tough wasn't really the word. The Bucks were out front the whole game, once by as much as 13 points, and the Knicks never led until Frazier's final shot. "I thought it would hit the rim," said the Knicks' bearded backcourt dynamo who wound up with 31 points for the night.

"I had some doubts about that last one because all my shots were a struggle. I was pulling to the left or right all night."

Give one of us a call soon. Chones Regains Touch, Rescues No. 2 Marquette By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)-Bill Russell has seen a couple of basketball games In his time. He isn't easily impressed. Especially by what he sees on a basketball floor.

What he saw Monday night at Madison Square Garden impressed him though. Tremendously. Bobby Fischer, the international chess grand master who meets Russia's Boris Spassky for the world championship soon, hasn't seen as, many basketball games as Bill Russell. But he's an even tougher nut to crack. He doesn't get impressed about anything.

It was different Monday night. He showed up for his first basketball game in more than five years and he was impressed, too. So were such otherwise cold cucumbers as Willis Reed, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They all paid the highest praise one professional can pay another and all talked about the same man-Walt Frazier of the New York Knicks. Walt Frazier played the kind of game Monday night kids like to dream about.
