tournament Ron King scored 24 points and Reggie Royals added 18 for the Seminoles who led by 42-36 at the half and built the margin to 26 points late in the game A little fellow at about five feet six inches 135 he depends upon good timing for distance The king does not take advantage of his position he plays out every shot Casper admits however that any royal putt inside three feet is a Hassan has faults present in any game He has a tendency to aim right and then come over the top a delinquency that produces a royal slice Casper has opened his stance to correct the flaw The king also diagnoses his own bad shots the prerogative of any hacker GOLF IS a midday diversion from palace desk duties for the king However government officials and businessmen usually accompany him and between shots he makes decisions and signs By MILTON RICHMAN United Prts International Writer NEW YORK Bill Russell has seen a couple of basketball games in his time He 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 Boris Spassky for the world championship soon seen as many basketball games as Bill Russell But an even tougher nut to crack He 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 Ka-reem 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 kids like to dream about Grown men too more he picked the perfect time with the game nationally televised and a capacity 19588 on hand Frazier 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 10T-99 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in a movie-like finish the only way to describe said Bill Russell on hand to do the color commentary for national TV 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 BOBBY FISCHER blinked his eyes when he saw the Knicks gain possession 20 seconds from the end with the score tied 99-99 Earl Monroe passed off to Bill Fritsch will recover from his present injury in time for the Super Fritsch pulled a hamstring muscle in mid-November and was placed on the taxi squad Clark taking his place The Cowboys will go with Clark in the Super Bowl Fritsch in two games scored on five of eight attempts Kap who signed Fritsch last year for the Dallas Cowboys said he has found another promising soccer kicker who will play for New Orleans next season IS Alfred Murlasits one of the best scorers in the Austrian Soccer League in the past Kap said has already agreed to travel to the US this coming spring and play for the Kap said he has found a of soccer-style kickers in West Germany who indicated interest in joining American football teams success of Toni Fritsch and other European soccer-style kickers has boosted interest in US football among European soccer players Kap said jgi 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 a jumper and the whole place went plumb mad used to complete quiet when you Dave DeBusschere said to Bobby Fischer in the dressing room afterward did you Fischer said giving the question proper thought before answering did you think of someone else asked the blond chess whiz Fischer said much more quickly this time put in DeBusschere was just incredible at the Willis Reed sitting on the bench with tendonitis called performance and Monroe remarked getting so you sort of expect it Press International Telephoto from Oscar Robertson who vainly tried to keep Frazier from getting off his gamewinning shot said take it away from him he played a great And Jabbar agreed hit some tough shots there at the Tough really the word The Bucks were out front the whole game once by as much as 13 points and the Knicks never led until final shot THOUGHT it would hit the said the bearded back-court dynamo who wound up with 31 points for the night had some doubts about that last one because all my shots were a struggle I was pulling to the left or right all 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 GUARANTEE on NEW TIRES Four ply nylon cord Full six and tread depth Long mileage Thoro Tuf rubber A budget tire in price only 9 $900 for £vl 1 HIGHSPEED WHEEL BALANCING FRONT END

longer Today Casper is around the palace a status that puts the man from Chula Vista in exclusive company When the king wants Casper to work on his game he sends airplane tickets and expense money His planes cars and drivers are at disposal Gifts to Shirley Casper have included a Mercedes leading to the suspicion that her husband has cured the royal slice ''v Garo Yepremian success cited last more
