of the administration In the autumn of 1073.
During  those  months of last
year    Reagan   was   clobbered
in six and three-quarter years
paradoxically, while the lean
and handsome chief executive
was taking a political beating ln
California, his stock nationwide
as a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination In 1976
Reagan's first major setback
last fall Involved Proposition 1,
the so-called tax limitation Initiative. This would have pegged
.stale spending to a percentage
of gross personal Income each
year with a gradual reduction In
the percentage annually until a
minimum level was reached.
When the legislature declined
to place the proposal on the ballot, Reagan started a petition
circulating drive which eventually quail fled the proposition
(or a vote of the people.
Reagan-.called a special elec-
Ingjhe campaign spent more than
31 million to promote It and put
the governor ln the propaganda
forefront.
The campaign left no doubt
that Proposition 1 was Reagan's
•baby.'

__J than 300,000 votes,
Reagan's first loss at the polls.
, The governor's second serious
rebuff last autumn had to do
with a Democrat-sponsored bill
to Increase state welfare grants
' to the aged, disabled and blind.
Under HR 1, the federal government would take over grant
payments to these recipients
but at a flat scale much lower
than the levels In California.
States   were   required  to make
federal grants and their present
of federal Medl-Cal funds.
The Democratic bill, sponsored by Assemblyman John
Burton, D-San Francisco, called
for   payments   at  higher levels

smaller amounts than In the
Burton bill. The bill was killed
ln the Senate.
To   Reagan's   chagrin,  however, the third court of appeal
Reagan was forced to call the
legislature back Into session In
December and, In negotiations,
to swallow even higher payments
than In the original Burton bill.
While all this was going on,
however, the heir apparent to
on's Job In 1977,
I SplroAgnew, ran
afoul of kickback charges concerning construction Jobs In
Maryland and was forced to resign his office.
Reagan was catapulted Into
the position as front-runner for
the Republican presidential
nomination in 1976, although he
has not yet admitted being a
candidate for the Job.
Almost all political observers
agree that a conservative will
have the best chance of winning
and  Reagan's
impeccable.
His popularity with the right
wing of the COP Is evidenced by
the fact that he was the only
presidential hopeful Invited to
address a national strategy inference of prominent Republican conservatives Ihts month.
Until recently, Reagan supporters viewed his most serious
opposition as coming from former New York Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller, who recently resigned to devote full time to
campaigning for the Job, and
former Texas Gov. John Con-
nally    a   Democrat   turned Re-
Now another potentially formidable foe has appeared on the
scene. He Is former House Minority Leader Gerald Ford of

as being the first choice for the
nomination,     although    Reagan
Senators Howard Baker of

About the only substantial loss Inflicted on the
Cal State Long Beach basketball team this year
was a 26-0 defeat at the hands of the NCAA.
Nobody else haa done much of anything to damage
the talented Forty-Nlners, who bring an 18-2
record and No. 9 national ranking Into Selland
Arena tonight to meet Fresno state's surprising
Bulldogs.
Long Beach has two losses. Both were by two
point margins on the road to Colorado (which FSU
beat here) and to Marquette. Colorado's high altitude and Marquette's notorious home court advantage can easily be used as excuses.
This   is  not to say that
Long Beach State Is not i
torlous   Itself.   It   has
cently   been   placed   oi
three-year probation by
NCAA   for 26 of what were
described  as 'some of the most flagrant abuses
ever  found by  the NCAA"  and  has two players
dribbling on the floor only under court Injunction.
But there Is no doubting the talent of this motley
collection of athletes, which has given the City of
long Beach more publicity In the last few years
than all the 1933 earthquake, the Signal Hill oil
discovery and Queen Mary docking did combined.
Perhaps   a.  half-dozen  of these  same  players
could end up' performing In the NBA someday and
it will then take an $8 ticket to see thi
of a $1 FSU student charge now. •"

basketball and after an extensive recruiting pitch
from former CSLB coach Jerry Tarkanlan, have
teamed up lo form one of the finest brother combinations In college basketball.
Roscoe   Pondextrr Is  the  all-time  state  high
school   scoring record  holder  and Clifton,  who
Roscoe readily admits is the better of the two, led
his school to two straight wins In the prestigious
Tournament of Champions ln Oakland.   -
A few days after the stunning news of the three- /
year probation placed on Long Beach by the NCAA,
Roscoe  and   6-5   guard  Glenn  McDonald  were
suspended Indefinitely for allegedly not taking the
controversial  1.6 grade prediction test when It
was still ln effect.
The NCAA accused others of taking the teat for
them but Long Beach says it has signed documents
uses.   . by   the pair saying they both took the test. A
friendly Judge ordered that
c n « r. -r «■      ...... w « • ai the two should be allowed to
SPORTS     ANALYSIS piay until  the case la de-
. .       .   j, elded,   and   that   will   take
by CHUCK KnOX several months.
One should note that all
of the alleged 26 violations occurred under the
regime of the now departed Tarkanlan, and not
under current coach Lute Olsen. Olsen Is just
about as  clean as  they  come and a damn good
Olsen, though, will be saddled with the three-
year probation and cutback ln scholarship allotments while Tarkanlan works under a lucrative
contract ln Las Vegas. Tarkanlan has said he Is
Innocent of any of the charges, such as giving
players money "under the table,* shady recruiting
practices and other violations of NCAA guidelines.
Since Long Beach cannot participate In any postseason action, about the only thing It can took
forward to Is winning the Pacific Coast Athletic
Association championship for the fifth straight
year, which It has virtually wrapped up with FSU's
two recent wins over Cal State Los Angeles.
The Bulldogs still have an outside chance to
represent the PCAA ln the Western Regtonals and
sfnee all Long Beach games are discounted, tonight's game Is meaningless as far as this Is con-
But the prestige of beating Long Beach would be
enormous. Long Beach has lost only four conference games ln the last five years of PCAA play
and two of those defeats were Inflicted by CSUF-
campus gym In 1970 and once at Selland
n drafted
Arena ln 1972.
Some 6,200 fans will be drawn to Selland Arena
tonight to see if Ed Gregory's 14-5 club of Charles
Bailey, Roy Jones, Geoff Brandt. Dave Cumberland
and Bruce Hennlng can do the Impossible* again.
