Oscar Robertson returned. That, plus a pair of standout performances by Jerry Lucas and Jack Twyman, gave the Royals the impetus for a runaway 123-106 victory before 4679 in Cincinnati Gardens.

wmmmmmmmmmmmmm BOSTON Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay has an incarcerated hernia and will be operated upon some-tifne Friday night, Dr. Nathan Shapiro, examining physician of the Massachusetts State Boxing Commission Gncinnati Enquirer A mass of Cincinnati free throws in the third quarter finally turned the tide after a nip-and-tuck first half, giving the Royals a second straight victory over these same Hawks and some momentum for games Saturday In New York against the Knicks and Sunday here in Cincinnati against San Francisco. The victory, combined with Boston's second straight loss, also moved the Royals back into second place In the National Basketball Association's Eastern Division and within 3V2 games of the front-running Celtics. Oscar, back in action after a four -game layoff and with his right eye still puffed up a bit, showed no ill effects of the eye injury in delivering 22 points and 10 assists. He sat out nine minutes of the game.

Lucas, continuing a stretch of magnificent play, led his team with 30 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. Coach Jack McMahon said before the season this Page 31 Saturday, November 14, 1964 would be a much improved Lucas and, boy, he wasn't kidding. In the last five games, Luke has averaged 25.2 rebounds and 27.8 points. And Twyman had perhaps his best game of the season. Jack's had better scoring nights, (he got 25 points), but all phases of his game were good Friday, particularly his passing.

He got eight assists, which tied his professional high in that department. For the Hawks, Bob Pet-tit managed to salvage some glory. The courageous captain scored 29 points to lead Surgery Clay was stricken while dining at his Sherry Bllt-more Hotel suite about two miles from the hospital. He was taken to the part of the hospital designated as Surgical 5. Four or five physicians attended him.

Chairman Herman Green-berg of the Massachusetts Boxing Commission and commissioner Ed Urbec arrived shortly after Clay's arrival at the hospital. Liston, reached by phone at his Plymouth training camp, said "If he wouldn't be running around the streets the way he does, he wouldn't have anything wrong with him." Liston's comment apparently was a reference to Clay's conduct Monday outside the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety where the rivals were to report for a preliminary weigh-in. Clay ran up and down the street car t-acks in the center strip of Commonwealth Avenue stopping trolly cars and trucks and Inquiring for the "Big Bear" his name for Llston. Clay's condition was manifested by a swelling of the right groin. The champion was having dinner in his hotel room a little after 6 p.

m. when the swelling began, according to trainer Angelo Dundee. Clay doublea up in pain, the trainer said. The husky 23-year-old champion appeared in great pain as he was carried into the hospital emergency room. He was accompanied by several camp followers including his brother Rudolph.

Rudolph talked with an unidentified doctor who assured Clay's brother that "it's not serious, it looks like a hernia." To Rudolph's question whether surgery would be necessary, the doctor replied "yes."

Luke and Twyman took turns rubbing it in the fourth quarter as the Royals lead grew to 23 points, 110-87, and subs took over. With Oscar in the lineup, the Royals showed much more explosive power than they did in the four games without him, and you can't press this club when Oscar's around, as all the clubs did to some extent in that stretch.

Cincinnati showed Its power early when It put on a 22-4 rip to overcome the Hawks' early lead, and in the third quarter went on another 14-3 tear to take command. The Royals recorded 31 assists, proof of a strong irunning and passing ggame, and their 123 points was a season high. "We have that explosive power with Oscar because of the ball movement," McMahon noted afterwards. "We can get 10 or 12 points in a hurry. This is the big difference." "I thought Oscar was real sharp.

He passed off, and set up the others well. "I thought Twyman had a hell of a game. He got the ball up fast and hit the open man." Over in the Hawk dressing room, Pettit was accepting congratulations, tlthough obbviously unhappy at losing. "Oscar really does a lot of things out there, said Hawk coach, Harry Gallatin. "But, of course, Lucas Is playing great basketball.

He's getting that ball for them." Gallatin glanced at the statistic sheet and noted that one of his ace shoot- 1 ers, Cliff Hagan, had gone 1 of 17 from the field. "He's never had that bad of a night," moaned Gallatin. Take A Closer Look Just like many another 14-year-old, Bruce Congola, Elmwood Park, III, plays football dances, swims, plays the trombone, and makes model planes. He does all this even though he has no fingers. He was born that way and now competes very well indeed in public school.

AP Wirephoto Dr. Shapiro announced re-salts of his examination shortly after promoter Sam Silverman said Monday night's heavyweight title bput between Clay and challenger Sonny Llston at Boston Garden was postponed indefinitely. Shapiro said that Clay will have to be In the hospital about 10 days and he will be laid up about six weeks. He added it would be at least seven or eight weeks before Clay will be able to resume training. operation will be performed by Dr.

William Mc-Dermott of Harvard. "His condition presently is said Dr. Shapiro. The commission physician sild there was no sign of a hernia at all when he examined heavyweight champion on Monday. Il)r.

Shapiro said he understood that Clay became sick after having his dinner about 6:30 p.m. Clay was eating with Dj-ew Brown, also known as Budlnl, his friend and assistant trainer, in their hotel room. Brown said "we were eating and watching television. Cassius had steak, potatoes, spinach and tossed salad." after he finished eating," said Brown, "he got violently sick and started to throw up. His stomach swelled up the size of a football." Brown said he wanted to call a private doctor but Clay said "No, get me to a hospital quick.

I'm In bad pain." They called the police, Budini said, and an ambulance was rushed to the hotel. Shapiro said the operation should take about 40 minutes, it was his guess Clay will not be able to fight for at least six months.

There'll be two changes in the Cincinnati starting lineup. Bill Bailey has been given the opening call at fullback and Tom Sobolew-skl opens at tight end for Bob Welch, who is injured and did not make the trip. his team, making tilm the first man to score 20,000 professional points and pushing his total to 20,022. Pettlt's overhead hook shot on a rebound shortly after the opening of the second quarter gave him his eighth point of the game and put him over the 20,000 mark.

Play was stopped for appropriate ceremonies awarding of the game ball and a cake, congratulations from Royals president, Carl W. Rich, and a short talk by Pettit. To a standing ovation, Bob noted: "This is probably the only record I've ever really attempted to get. I'm so very proud and delighted and humble to score 20,000 points." At the stage, the Royals had only a one-point lead. They had put on a terrific burst early in the first quarter to overcome a 14-5 deficit, and they managed to close out the first half with a 58-54 lead, Robertson, Luke and Twyman each scoring 13 points.

Somehow, a black cat managed to get on the floor during the halftime break, and for a few moments in the early period, it appeared the Royals really were jinxed. Center Zelmo Beaty banged In six quick points and helped the Hawks to a 68-64 lead with less than three minutes played In the second half. But Lucas hit a hook, Adrian Smith got his first points of the night with a free throw and jump shot, and Twyman scored on a full-court Lucas pass to regain the lead for Cincinnati, 71-68. And then foul trouble hit the Hawks. Of Cincinnati's next 15 points, 13 came on free throws.

Smith, the league's No. 1 free throw shooter, banged in four in a row himself. When Lucas tipped in a bucket and Bockhorn connected on a long jumper at yards (Xavier's entire output for eight games is 1116). Halfbacks Dennis Assen-macher and Bob Burghardt come in with 8.0 and 3.4 averages. Sophomore Dick Waring is the Titan quarterback by way of Canada and has come into his own the last couple of weeks.

He likes to run (211 yards) and his passing (166 yards) reached its peak last week In a 28-7 rout of Virginia Military. He hit six of 13 for 120. Probable starting lineups: No. Wt. DETROIT Pos.

i for the Trend 0I ST. Injury-Plagued Muskies Battle Beefy Titans BY BILL FORD Of The Enquirer Staff Pretend you're a football coach at kickoff with problems such as: Your line could be outweighed 23 pounds a position; your best quarterback is half-hurt and your top runner left part of his knee in a hospital. What would you do? Al Heim OIL For almost a decade, ever since UC Joined the far-reaching Valley organization in 1957; the Bearcats have found a conference crown out of their reach. For they first six years, they never succeeded in beating more than one conference opponent per year. Then, last season, they almost got rich by sharing a cochampionship with Wichita.

And now, today, all of the marbles are up for grabs, and the Bearcats want 'em. Cincinnati heads for the 3 p.m. klckoff standing 3-0 in the conference race and 5-2 overall, and more than a few observers feel the team Is Just unlucky not to be 7-0. Wichita, with a powerful and outstanding fullback named Pete Didonato, a massive line and a sharp-passing quarterback named Lou Confessori, shows an unimpressive 3-4 record. Yet the Shockers, who acquired state university status last summer, are 10 in the Valley and actually are not out of the race.

So Wichita has something going for It, too, -and along with the fact that it's Homecoming Day here, the combination has coach Chuck Studley more than Just a little edgy. The 'Cats, of course, are going to rely on that brilliant triple threat houdini, Brig Owens, to put their own shock in the Shockers. Owens, who stands out In no particular offensive phase because of the well-balanced Cincinnati attack, can pass better, run better and kick better than anything Wichita has to offer. Halfback Al Nelson is probably the best at his trade in the conference, wingback Enrol Prisby Joins him with a one-two speed threat which the Shockers cannot match, and UC has what appears to be a stronger defense. All of this accounts for Clncinnnati's rating as a two-touchdown favorite, and yei this will not be an easy afternoon for the Bearcats.

Down through the years Wichita has been a Jinx club for Cincinnati In football as well as basketball. In 10 previous grid engagements the Shockers hold a 5-3 advantage, with two ties. They upset UC, 23-20, here last year. In basketball the Bearcats traditionally have more trouble beating Wichita teams, particularly here, than any other club In the conference. All of this accounts, probably for the Bearcats' strong need of desire in today's game, and why the interior of the plane that carried the team here Friday was plastered with "Beat Kickoff-3 B.

If you're like some coaches you'd prefer to cancel the game.

Or to be sporty about It, your game plan would consist of some passes, some punts and a lot of prayers. If you're coach Ed Biles of Xavler, whose Musketeers are Just about in that dilemma for tonight's game at 8 p. m. at Xavler Stadium against University of Detroit, you'd tug at your belt and shout: "Bring 'em on." This could be the "gut-tiest" Xavier squad of a generation. Beset by injuries to key personnel since the outset of the season, the Muskies yet have to throw in the towel.

The big blow, of course, was the loss of Walt Malner, the nation's leading halfback a season ago with an average of 6.1 yards a carry. But they've won three and tied one in eight outings. Now Mainer has returned, having recovered surprisingly fast from surgery in which he lost the cartilage of the left knee. But sophomore quarterback Carroll Williams still is nursing a bruised hip. And though Biles intends to start him, the coach admits Williams a better than average runner and a good passer "is suffering somewhat." Malner, appearing in one play as a decoy last week in the come-from-behind victory over Dayton, will not start.

He will see some action, since, says Biles "we think he is ready to go from what he has shown in practice this week. He ran well and did not favor the knee." The Invading Titans present some stiff arguments despite a so-so three-won-flve-lost record. For one thing, they usually beat the Muskies, having won seven of the eight games in the series, Including a 6-0 stunner last season. For another, they'll front the biggest line Xavier has faced, averaging 221 pounds. "With the size of their line," says Biles, "we expect we'll have to put the ball In the air." That means a healthy Williams at game time is of utmost necessity.

A late comer, Williams has passed 42 times with 19 completions and three touchdowns. the Kind Of Guy Hutch Was FRED HUTCHINSON, a man who never gave you anything but an honest answer, was one of those few persons you meet In life who seemingly teach you a lesson every time you are with them. I recall an Incident that happened last summer in Chicago when I happened to be with the Reds on assignment. It was get-away day and the Reds had been shutout, 1-0, on a one-hitter by Larry Jackson. It was a sticky day with the temperature near 100 and the loss was the climax of a so-so road trip that had hurt rather than helped the Reds' pennant chances.

The players were tired and disgusted as they hurried to the bus which would take them to the airport for a flight back to Cincinnati. But the usual cluster of autograph-hunting kids blocked their path at the exit Most of the Reds either signed one or two scorecards and pushed through to the bus or ignored the youngsters completely. But not Hutch. Altnough It seemed it even hurt him to walk unless he held his back he signed scorecards and all the way from the exit to the bus. Then, after assuming his "skipper's seat" next to the window, he motioned to the kids he had missed and started signing more autographs.

When the bus finally pulled away, Hutch waved and the group of grubby little Chlcagoans cheered, "yea, Hutch." Someone ventured that it would be nice if kids would be a little more considerate about autographs especially after a team has lost a close game. Hutch heard the remark, grinned and said: "We lost the game, they didn't. They didnt have anything to do with it so why should they suffer? It wasn't their fault." He was right. Fred Hutchinson was quite a man. HERE'S A QUOTE we like.

"I don't guess I checked rooms over once or twice while I was In Cincinnati and Detroit. In training camp, I didnt want them to have golf clubs because we were there for basketball; we had problems with poker games; it got to be $60 or $70 In the pot. Several times In the poker games, they were borrowing from the club. We cut it out. We started it up again when the pots were reasonable.

I never interfered with anybody having his beer. "Everybody talks about all the restrictions, but I don't know what they are talking about. I don't ever recall checking the Royals.
