B6 SUNDAY. JULY 8. 1990 LOS ANGELES TIMES METRO NEWS CUP: Broadcasters Make Long-Distance Call By JACK PETERS INTERNATIONAL MASTER CHESS At ii 4 i -1 technique with energy and desire. Here is the difference in this game: the superior skill of Germany and the vigor of England an old clash between two things almost as traditional as soccer itself." Both announcers say that calling the games from the studio is more exhausting than working from a booth at the stadium. "We have to concentrate so that it's as if we're in the stadium," says Longo.

"It's a great effort to transmit the emotion of the game." After the England-Germany overtime encounter, which ended at 2 p.m. here, but 11 p.m. in Italy, Cantor said he felt ready to go to sleep. "For me, it's midnight already," he said. "When I see it's dark in the stadium, I feel like it's nighttime here as well." Today, the pair will announce their last game the Cup final between powerful West Germany and defending champion Argentina.

With thousands of Argentines in the United States tuned in and praying for an upset, will Cantor's heritage make it a difficult game for him to call? "No, of course not," he said. "I'm a professional, I call all the games the same. But I would be a hypocrite if I told you my heart wasn't with Argentina." abcdefgh July 8, 1990 Position 5070: While to play and win.

208 NATIONAL NEWS Continued from Bl hotbed of Orange County, either. Instead, they simply tell their viewers that the games are coming to them "live," which they are, courtesy of Italian TV and a satellite relay through Mexico City. Actually, sending Cantor and Longo to Italy for the World Cup tournament would have made little sense for Univision. The tournament is structured so that games are played in several cities within the host country, sometimes on the same day, and Cantor and Longo are Univision's sole broadcast team. From Laguna Niguel, they can announce two games in one day from cities on opposite ends of the country, and cut to Univision's four reporters and crews in Italy to provide live interviews with coaches and players.

And the pair's distance from the games hasn't hurt Univision's ratings. KMEX has seen its audience jump by 25 to 50 during the World Cup matches, and the station is outdrawing the English -language soccer broadcasts on the TNT cable channel 5 to 1. The competition concludes with today's championship match between West Germany and Argentina. There are drawbacks to announcing from a studio, however. "You get limited vision, and only see what everyone else sees too," said Cantor.

"I try to anticipate the plays, and if I'm wrong, I correct myself immediately." He's not wrong too often. Rarely glancing at the lineup sheets he has scribbled in front of him, Cantor immediately identifies the small images on the screen and calls the action almost before it occurs. "I do this every week of the year," explained Cantor, who announces Univision's weekly international soccer broadcasts from the Laguna Niguel studio. "At this stage, I've seen the players time in and time out." Cantor, 27, grew up in Buenos Aires but moved to Pasadena with his parents as a teen-ager. He played soccer and graduated from San Marino High School, then studied journalism at USC.

He has been doing the weekly Univision broadcasts for about three years; this is his first World Cup. Cantor's distinctive gol! cry isn't really much different from those of other Spanish-language soccer announcers, all of whom draw the three-letter word out for several seconds, at least. "A goal is the climax of the action, and there may be only one of them a game," said Cantor. "All the Latin announcers call the goals the same way." Longo, 46, is also Argentine. He is Univision's regular boxing announcer, but he has broadcast seven World Cup soccer tournaments on radio or television, and brings to the game an outspoken style that sometimes makes his producers cringe.

When a French referee began showboating in a pivotal Italy-Argentina match, Longo railed against him. "This referee is fatal," he said. "He wants to be the protagonist, he wants to make a show. He is so on top of the action that he's making a nuisance of himself." With his rich baritone voice and penchant for sports psychology, Longo has no problem imbuing the contests with his own sense of drama from the darkened Univision studio. The closing minutes of each game are "the moment of truth." Well-struck shots are "im-presionante" or "violentisima." Last Wednesday, he described the England-West Germany epic like this: "England is trying to replace TODAY'S GAMES GM Glek (U.S.S.R.)

Among the 168 masters were 18 GM's, 26 IM's, and 66 players rated over 2400. They vied for a prize fund of $178,600, not a record sum for the World Open, but larger than that of any other open tournament in the world. The biggest chunk, 10, of the prize fund, went to GM Igor Glek of the Soviet Union. Glek defeated his countrymen, GM's Vitaly Cheshkovsky and Vladimir Malaniuk, en route to an unmatched score of Nine players tied for second at 7-2: Soviets IM llya Smirin, GM Naum Rashkovsky, and untitled Alex Schabalov, GM Ferdinand Hellers of Sweden, GM Julian Hodgson of England, GM's Joel Benjamin and Larry Christiansen of New York City, GM Walter Browne of Berkeley (who started 5-0, then drew his last four games), and IM Alex Yermolinsky of New Jersey. Organizer Bill Goichberg of New York began the annual Fourth of July weekend series of World Open tournaments in New York City in 1973.

When he guaranteed a then-record prize fund of $25,000, many observers predicted a disaster, but the tournament made a substantial profit. Despite a shift in location to Philadelphia and an increase in the entry fee to more than $200 per player, the World Open has flourished, proving that there is a market for big-money tournaments on the East Coast.

Store manager Frank Younan said he was unaware of the discovery because it occurred after his business had closed. "That's a surprise," he said Saturday, when told of the find. "I think he was an honest guy. Maybe he's too young." Vasquez said the intersection where the money was stashed is not known for drug dealing, although there are areas nearby where dope dealers hang out.

Vasquez, who briefly talked to the youngster and his family after they brought the money to the police station Friday evening, described him as "an average looking kid: clean-cut. He seemed like a good kid conscientious." Vasquez said the family members were worried about what would happen to them when they showed up at the police station with $277,000 in cash. "The family was a little bit apprehensive," he said. "They wondered, 'Are the police going to believe us? We don't know. Are the police going to apprehend us? We don't Vasquez said the mother told police, "We didn't know what you were going to do.

You guys were really nice. We were surprised." The police didn't seem to care that the money wasn't handed over immediately. "It's just as much of a novelty to us," Vasquez added. "We were thinking what would we have done." The teen-ager's mother told police that her son still hadn't relaxed from the excitement. "The kid is a little spooked about this thing, wondering if people will be looking for him," Vasquez said.
