The dead students, all residents of Canoga Park, were Truong Lam, 17; Quang Lam, 18; Long Nguyen, 16, and Vinh Vo, 17, Los Angeles County coroner's officials said. A passenger train struck the car occupied by the youths Friday as the vehicle passed through a railroad crossing on Lassen Street, a block west of Canoga Avenue, police said.

Witnesses said the car was apparently trying to beat the train to the crossing and that the auto's driver ignored flashing red lights and swerved around two cars that had stopped at the crossing. Both Lams and Nguyen were pronounced dead at the scene. Vo died Friday about 10 p.m. following surgery at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, the coroner's office said. The impact of the crash threw the teen-agers from the car, which was smashed nearly beyond recognition, officials said.

The train was loaded with passengers heading toward Northern California and Seattle for the Christmas holiday, they said.

Not convincing is 1 INTERNATIONAL NEWS Gary Kasparov almost clinched victory in his world championship match against Anatoly Karpov in Lyon, France, by winning the 20th game in spectacular style. After a hard-fought 86rmove draw in Game 2 1 Kasparov leads the match, 1 1 '6-9V4, He needs only one draw to retain his title. Kasparov has often expressed contempt for Karpov's play and his personality. On a few occasions during the match, though, Kasparov grudgingly praised Karpov's fighting spirit. After the 20th game, Kasparov went still further.

"He saw that I wasn't going to take any risks," Kasparov said. "That's why he decided to fight today he's a great fighter. He doesn't care how much he loses by one point, two points he only wants to win the match." Lately the two rivals have resumed analyzing together after each session of play. Yasser Seirawan of Seattle defeated Jan Timman of Holland in their KRO match in Hilversum, Holland. After losing Game 2, Seirawan won three straight games, taking an insurmountable 3W-1 lead in the six-game series.

The match was the ninth in the annual series, sponsored by a Dutch radio company, which pits Timman, the best Dutch player, against foreign stars.
