OSCAR CONTEST 202 Connolly's reaction was the rale rather than, the exception among fans to the squad of women, the first profes-' sional football cheerleaders in the metropolitan area. So what if these cheer leaders were the pick of 500 women, aged II to 40? So what if they had mastered a six-week rigorous training program' to learn 16 minute-and-a-half dance routines to perform during the Donald Higgins, a spectator. at the. game, explained it all. "We're New Yorkers," he said, "and we don't need cheerleaders." Higgins, a U-year-old Manhattan resident, meant that these fans, unlike their more tolerant colleagues in other parts cf the nation; dont take kindly to anything that doesn't add to the on-field battle of a game.

"We want football," Higgins said, "and we dont need any sideline decoration." 2 FIRST PRIZES: Where's the fish? A woman who bought the last fish fillet at a McDonald's rcstanrant in Palo Alto, Calit, was knocked out by one of three younger women who wanted the 91-cent sandwich, police said. The three women who attacked the 42- year-old victim, whose named was not. released, were being sought by police Sunday, according to Sgt Mike Meloy. The victim had ordered the last fish sandwich available at the McDonald's and three younger women, believed to be hi their teens or early 20s, in line behind her became irritated, Meloy said.

Many of these fans just sat back in puzzlement as the squad of new cheerleaders sprinted onto the field shortly before game time Sunday waving large red and white pompons.

As the cheerleaders were dashing onto the field, a snowball fight erupted among -many of -the unrully fans in the stadium. It soon spread through much of the arena and the cheerleaders were ignored when, that is, they weren't being pelted with snowballs.

"I wouldn't say the honeymoon's -over-nut- let's -aaywe 're no-longer -newlyweds." said Charles Dumas, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Warren M. Anderson, the Bingham ton Republican who represents Cuomo's prime obstacle in Albany. "You've got to remember that this is an election year, and people want to make points the bome.team." For Cuomo, that has translated into a series of spate with Republicans and Democrats alike on subjects ranging from sports betting to tax cutting. And while the wars of words may- not be fatal, they do leave an impression' of difficult times ahead. One day.

The fight over this year's budget, led by Anderson and his Senate Republicans, centers on tax cuts. The GOP maintains Cuomo has hidden $434 million in revenues in his proposed $35.4 billion budget, money tha could be used to reduce income and business' -taxes. "-r On both counts, Cuomo disagrees with his accusers. He insists that a recent lawsuit brought by the state Civil Service Employees Association will prove he did have the authority to keep staffing levels below those agreed upon last year. And he calls the tax-reduction plan "a that would, produce a deficit similar to the flJ billion gap that emerged ia 182.
