New York (IP) Not since Hank Luisetti came storming -out of the West with his amaz ing one-hand shots has a bas- "ketball player rocked New York in his debut like Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati. "The greatest sophomore I .have ever seen." said his : coach, George Smith, after I the Cincinnati sophomore smashed the Madison Square I Garden scoring record by fir- -ing 56 points in a 118-54 rout of Seton Hall at the famed "pop shot palace." : And the echoing salute from the "big town" meant that -Robertson is a cinch to win the annual award that New ;York writers give to the out Ttanding visiting player to ap pear here. This is all that Robertson did Thursday night: 1. Broke the Garden single game scoring mark of 54 points set in 1947 by Harry Boykoff of St. John's; 2. Led Cincinnati to a new Garden team scoring record, topping the 116 by Bradley last year; 3. Broke the Garden single game record for baskets by notching 22, one more than the great George Mikan tal lied in a 'game in 1945; 4. Broke the Cincinnati school record of 49 points set last year by Jack Twyman, now a pro star; 5. Personally out scored the whole Seton Hall team, 56-54, when he left the game with 2:36 to play; and 6. Topped even any scoring show by a pro in Garden history.
