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, ErrI Monroe, Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul- Jabbar. They all paid the highest praise one professional can pay another and all talked about the same Frazier of the New York Knicks.

Walt Frazier played the kind of game Monday night kids like to dream about. Grown men, too. more he picked the perfect time. With the game nationally televised and a capacity 19,588 on hand, Frazier ran off 13 straight points the final 2:38, collaborated with Phil Jackson in a vital heart- stopping 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 like finish. the only way to describe said Bill Russell, on hand to do the color commentary for national TV.

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- all. Earl Monroe passed off to Bill Bradley on his left. Bradley gave the ball to Frazier, who nearly lost it, but quickly control and began nis move with eight seconds left.

I was pulling to the left or right all Why, because of the pressure? laughed Frazier.

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 I had only six points at the Walt Frazier got a little better as the game went on. Enough so that I got a rise out of Bill Russell.
