Cleta Pittman 562 Majors NEW YORK UPI -The Milwaukee Bucks, beaten by Walt Frazier 15-foot jumper with three seconds remaining Monday night, get a chance for revenge in tonight second half of a back-to-back set with the New York Knicks Frazier basket capped a string of 13 straight points by the New York guard and provided the Knicks with a 101-99 comeback victory The last two minutes of the game turned into a personal scoring duel between Frazier and Kareem Abdul- Jabbar who tallied Milwaukee's last eight points There 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 was fouled on the last play of the game when his sweeping hook shot missed the basket at the buzzer Winds Up in Mid Court I weigh 237 pounds, but I wound up at mid-court on the play, he complained I wasn pulled there by magnets Frazier was the key to New York's continued hex over Milwaukee which now has reached 11 victories in the last 13 games between the clubs Entering the game with a Nixon Calls Shula MIAMI UPI Coach Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins might have expected the ritual phone call from President Nixon after the Dolphins shut out the Baltimore Colts, 21-0 in the AFC championship game Sunday But he certainly didn't expect a presidential scouting report Shula received a phone call at 1 a Monday from Nixon while he was watching the television replay of the Dolphins-Colts game It was amazing how he wanted to talk technical football, said Shula He wanted to know about the Anderson interception and how the blocks formed Dolphins strong safety Dick Anderson intercepted a Johnny Unites pass in the third quarter Sunday and ran it back 62 yards for a key touchdown that put Miami 14 points ahead Two other big plays were Bob Gileses 75-yard scoring pass to Paul Warfield, and a final quarter 50-yarder to Warfield that set up the final touchdown Shula said the President told him, You know, I still think you can pass to Warfield down-and- in against Dallas Shula said Nixon told him, You realize Dallas is a tough football team Yes, Mr President, I know, and Tom Landry a fine coach, Shula said he replied The Cowboys defeated San Francisco, 14-3, Sunday for the National Football Conference title The Jan 16 Super Bowl game between Miami and Dallas will be the first time the two teams have ever played each other marksmanship of 21 points or better in his previous 16 games, Frazier 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 1 started badly, hitting only one of seven shots in the first half But when I began connecting I gained confidence Knicks Credit Lucas The Knicks credited Jerry Lucas with holding AbduUabbar 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 Jabbar- led team without Willis Reed They seemed to be playing this one for the cap There was no other action in the National Basketball Association Monday night In addition to tonight New York at Milwaukee game,

Concannon, Doug Buffone, George Seals and Jimmy Gunn played out their options in 1971 It looks as If John Unltas and Earl Morrall will have to hold up another year for the Colts as John Reaves and Pat

Memphis Pros fans gave a frosty reception to the news that three of their favorite Pros Bobby Warren, Wendall Ladner and Tom Owens had been swapped to the Carolina Cougars for Randy Denton, George Leh- mann and Warren Davis However, Pros officials said the deal was made mainly to acquire Denton, a 6-10 rookie from Duke who might give the Pros the beef in the center so badly needed Coach Babe McCarthy and Bob Vanatta, Pros general manager, said they had little to do with the trade A Hart, the newly elected president of the franchise, engineered the trade with Tedd Munchak, the Cougars

top 10 Denver Search Continues DENVER UPI Broncos Owner Gerald Phipps isn't mentioning any names, but he hopes to wrap up the search for a head coach and general manager by week end We hope to talk to another one or two coaching candidates Tuesday and hope to have something decided by the end of the week, although there no guarantee we ll be able to do so, Phipps said As it stands, we ve talked to about six prospects and have two or three more to go Between applicants and recommendations, we ve had 40 or more good people to screen Although Phipps has refused to identify those under consideration, two college coaches from the West Coast have been mentioned as possibilities- John Ralston of Stanford and Don Coryell of San Diego State Ralston obviously did not hurt his chances with a 13-12 upset victory over Michigan in the Rose Bowl, although Phipps said the bowl games really didn change any of my thinking in regards to a new Bronco coach Controversial Thomas Cowboys9 Silent Man DALLAS UPI Duane Thomas, the sphinx-like running phenom of the Dallas Cowboys who refuses to be interviewed or pose for pictures, is no mystery man to his coach, Tom Landry The 6-foot-l, 220-pound, 24- year-old No 1, 1970 draft choice out of West Texas State has drawn a curtain around himself after joining the club late His return came after bitter verbal combats with Cowboys management over his feelings that his original three-year contract needed revisions He is a tremendous football player and he played like one ever since he broke back into the lineup in the first game of the regular schedule, but he's done New Rice Coach Named Shortly HOUSTON UPI Unless there is a iita breakdown, Rice University srl'l nave new nead coach by the end of the week, according to the school's president Dr Norman Hacker- man We ve got some good people under consideration, Hacker- man said No matter what happens we re going to have a good coach Our problem has been that we couldn get these people down here because of bowl commitments One of those bowl-team coaches who visited Rice Monday was Iowa State's Johnny Mamors I can tell whether Coach Majors is interested in us or not, but we re interested in him, Hackerman said He a very impressive guy and all I know is that he asked his president if he could come here and he did Majors team was 8-4 In 1971, closing out the season with a loss to Lousiana State in the Sun Bowl all his talking with his talents on the field He rooms alone at home and on the road He sits alone In the middle of the three-seat sections on the team charter flights, sits off to himself on the bench while not on the field and declines all efforts to draw him into conversation The Cowboys' home town press corps has learned to live with the situation and after repeated rebuffs have left him alone They have asked andry about him, but Landry repeated reply has been, I don have any trouble communicating with him But, some of the out-of-town writers covering the 14-3 Dallas National Football Conference title game victory over San Francisco Sunday asked Landry if he could explain the Thomas situation to them because they found it very difficult to comprehend I don't know that I can explain it, Landry told them, but I ll try Duane is a unique individual His sole objective is to prepare to play football and he just doesn't like distractions He's smart You don have to tell him anything much and he doesn't ask But, he listens You meaning himself as coach and the team just have to understand him He acts as though he not a part of the team, but he is And, I and the team, have learned to understand that I never ask him why he is the way he is, but I guess he has his reasons He opens up when I talk to him and I've talked to him an hour ata time and, no it isn a one-sided conversation Thomas is the type who uses his teammates by that I meai their blocking If he seems to be hesitant getting away sometimes as it appeared Sunday against the Forty Niner defense it just because he waiting to find daylight and then he explodes Sometimes it looks like he's not doing anything, Landry admitted But, Thomas statistics disprove that supposition a fact which may interest the Miami Dolphins more in the Super Bowl Jan 16 than the fact Thomas is unique Color Man Russell Says Frazier Performance Fantastic NEW YORK UPI Bill Russell has seen a couple of basketball games in his time He isn 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 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 Others Impressed 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 Grown men, too What more he picked the perfect time With the game nationally televised and a capacity 19,588 on hand, Frazier ran off 13 straight points in the final 2 38, collaborated with Phil Jackson in a vital heartstopping 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 Great that 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 99-all 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 Very exciting, Fischer said, giving the question proper thought before answering What did you think of Frazier someone else asked the blond chess whiz Extraordinary, Fischer said, much more quickly this time Fantastic, put in DeBuss- chere He was just incredible at the end Willis Reed, sitting on the Knicks' bench with tendonitis, called Frazier performance unbelievable and Monroe remarked It getting so you sort of expect it from him How do you say Ho-Ho-Ho toastackof Christmas bills WARNING Snow Ice Coming
