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 tlie 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 otherwise cold cucumbers as Willis Reed, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul- Jabbar.

Milwaukee coach Larry Costello said the Bucks had to run a little better against New York if they expected to beat the Knicks.

"We have the talent to break the game open fast," Costello said. "But we also have to make the key baskets to open a big margin."

Entering the game with a marksmanship of 21 points or better in his previous 16 games, was limited to six points in the first half on Oscar Robertson's close guarding. The bearded Knick backcourt wonder broke a 99-all tie after stealing the ball at midcourt and hitting on his shot from the top of the key. Robertson slipped while trying 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 I began connecting I gained confidence." Frazier said he was confident on all his second-half shots except the winning one because he was watching the clock and hesitated before letting go with the ball that sailed cleanly through the basket. The Knicks credited Jerry Lucas with holding Abdul- Jabbar to 15 points in the second half after the Milwaukee center netted 23 in the opening half. "Jabbar is such a tremendous player and there's no doubt in my mind that he's the best offensive player ever in the NBA," Lucas said.

"This was my him because I didn't know what to do. "I felt better the second time I came into the game. More confident.
