He was up at 3 a.m.

smoking cigarettes and pacing the floor of room 622 in the St. Regis. He dozed, but was up and waiting for the coffee shop to open. Maybe it was a bad sign that he and a half dozen other members of the Tampa Bay Super Bowl Task Force had no rooms at the National Football League headquarters hotel, the zippy Detroit Plaza. That was where he'd spent Tuesday evening, along with his task force associates, lobbying NFL owners at a party the National Broadcasting Company threw.

That's when it became clear Super Bowl XVIII would be played at Tampa Stadium on Jan. 22, 1984. That's when the National Football League owners ended their meeting in the Cartier Room of the Detroit Plaza ancj Tampa Bay Buccaneer owner Hugh Culverhouse walked out, his right hand upwards in a for victory sign. Moments later, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle emerged to announce that 'Tampa Bay has been selected for Super Bowl XVIII, Jan. 22, 1984." Cheers went up from members of the Tampa Super Bowl Task Force, 17 of whom J.

Leonard Levy led here for the pitch that was successful. Champagne that. Bob. Cromwell bought was popped open in triumph at 3:08. Only the 1984 site was selected, and Tampa won the vote by a landslide.

There are 28 owners. A vote of 21 was required for a decision. Tampa got 24 votes. Oakland voted for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and Miami voted for the Orange Bowl. Chicago and Cincinnati left the meeting before the vote was taken, but with the understanding that Tampa had their votes, had they been needed.

In effect, then, Tampa won 26 of the 28 votes. Oakland is at odds with the league and Dolphins owner Joe Robbie voted for Miami as a favorite son. Culverhouse said later he would support a campaign for a Miami Super Bowl in 1985. With the pro-Tampa feeling obviously growing in these last weeks and days, in the end only Miami, New Orleans and Pasadena pressed for the '84 Super Bowl. Pontiac (Silverdome) and Dallas made bids for 1985 NFL Championship Game.

The Tampa presentation was the first made. It began at 11:57 a.m. and took exactly 14 minutes and 30 seconds. Fifteen minutes was allowed. The presentation was applauded by the assembled owners.

Rozelle complimented Levy "for a fine presentation" The 17-member delegation was in the meeting room at the time. Culverhouse's wife, Joy, was part of the delegation and the only woman involved in any presentation. She was applauded when she was introduced. Pasadena followed with a six-minute closed-door presentation. Dallas was next for one minute.

Miami made a slide presentation and then the owners broke for lunch. Pontiac and New Orleans made their bids early Wednesi day afternoon. There was a brief delay, causing some concern among the Tampa delegates as word leaked of possible deals for a 1985 site decision as well. Then the doors swung open and out came Culverhouse with his friend, Leonard Tose, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. Robbie of Miami had eased out seconds before and See VICTORY, Page 8 A l.

not to worry. A couple said it was in the bag. But, still, of the 28 votes, 21 cast had to be for Tampa. The best case for Tampa seemed to be, as Jim Kynes said plainly, "We ain't done nothin' wrong." That was a fact. Miami and New Orleans are in the NFL's doghouse right now for misdeeds at past Super Bowls held in those experienced cities.

"Still," said Levy, "we are a rookie city. Maybe we made somebody mad and didn't know it." "You can speculate you got it," Mike Lynn of Minnesota, a friend of Tampa, said at the cocktail party. That wasn't enough for Levy. He was up in the dead of night, smoking and reading the pitch he'd make as part of the presentation Wednesday, What a day Wednesday would be for Levy and those he represents. This is the Leonard Levy who chaired the task force that won the franchise that became the Bucs.

He is well-known and well-liked by the people in the NFL headquarters. His team included others well known to other owners and the NFL. Chuck Smith and Joe Zalupski and Earl Emmons were with Levy, and me, present in New York when Tampa Bay was awarded the franchise. 7 O'clock Wake tip Call Levy woke me at 7 a.m. to go over to the Plaza.

That was nuts. He went on in one of those Detroit taxis with more than 300,000 miles on it. There he met his twin brother, George, Bob Cromwell, Ralph Chapman, Chamber President Don Whittemore and film specialist Billy Bowles. They would rehearse the presentation. Cromwell and Bowles then would go into the Cartier meeting room and set up the twin screens for the 71-minute See MORNING AFTER, Page 8A nam Tribune GraphicRuss Kramer Survivors Of Super Bowls Past Remember Not- Fun There can be trouble during Super Bowl week, but "if you get plenty of uniformed officers out on the streets, the scalpers and the pickpockets and the muggers and the robbers and the hookers won't give you too much of a problem," advises Louis Turner, deputy chief of the New Orleans Police Department.

Those kinds of people descend in multitudes upon a Super Bowl city, Turner says. Prostitutes, for example, come from all over the world "and they're the high-class, really expensive type who don't work the streets. They- See PEOPLE, Page 9A By ED DEITZ Tribune Staff Writer The Super Bowl means outrageous parties, celebrities, international visibility for the host city, a local economic impact of millions of dollars, even a football game. But it also means a lot of hard work for a lot of people, most of whom will have neither the time nor the opportunity to "enjoy the glow" of the event or the week that precedes it. That's what some survivors of Super Bowls past told The Tribune in a series of telephone that whole week," recalls Audrey Jones, chief desk clerk at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, the city that hosted Super Bowl XV between the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles.

"That week, we didn't have time for anything except work, and then go home and sleep and then come back and do it again. "But no complaints, because we had a good crowd here. We had no problems, aside from a little drunkenness, but you gotta expect that," she says. "The only thing we had to watch out for was (ticket) scalpers. They'll try to get you to sell their tickets for them and you can wind up in big trouble doing that." Listen to Frank Morin, a Los Angeles cab driver and a veteran of three of the four Super Bowls played in Southern California: "You can make some good greenback, man, but most people I'm talking about people like you and me, not these fat cats, these big spenders that come to these things ordinary peo-1 pie, man, we don't have no access to the game or the parties at all, except maybe to work." Forget about tickets to the game, unless you're ready to pay a scalper $300 or $400 for one, he says.

Almost every party is private, the cabbie complains, and the cost of everything goes up that week. Who does this sour grapes think he is, anyway? Doesn't he know that the Super Bowl is probably the most glamorous of all sporting events, that the eyes of the nation make that the world are firmly focused on whatever city hosts it? "Sure, man, I know that," he replies. "This thing is for other people to enjoy. For me, it's to work, make money." Cab drivers aren't the only ones who feel that way. Super Bowl week means extra work for thousands of the host city's "This past one, I don't think any of us worked any less than 12 or 13 or 14 hours a day Thursday Warrant Issued For Black Man In Atlanta Murders Hillsborough Judge, Pharmacist Indicted -4 Members of the special task force searched the man's house and emerged with several bundles.

A Talking Watch? Watches that beep, glow in the dark and keep ticking after being run over by a two-ton truck may seem passe after the latest development in timepieces hits the market. Personal Electronics Inc. Newsmakers USA, a New York manufactur-SUSSSiSSm ing firm, has developed a watch that talks. The "OMNI Voice Master" looks like a normal digital watch but, when a small button next to the face is pushed, a male voice announces the time hour, minutes and a.m. or p.m.

Company President Harry Fox, who showed off the timepiece at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago, said his firm hopes to have 15,000 talking watches on the market by Father's Day and 300,000 distributed before Christmas. The watch retails for $99.95 and has a one-year limited warranty. Don C. Kilgore ATLANTA (AP) A warrant was issued for the arrest of a man called "the strongest suspect to this point" in the slayings of several of 'Atlanta's 28 slain young blacks, a source close to the special police task force investigating the slayings said Wednesday. A raid of the man's house in northwest Atlanta was conducted late Wednesday by task force officers and the FBI, the source said.

The source described the man as black and about 30 years old. He was not identified. Asked about the significance of the development, the source said, "I'll say this: He is the strongest suspect to this point." An Atlanta station, WSB-TV, reported late Wednesday that the FBI had a man in custody and was questioning him but he had not been placed under arrest. The source close to the task force said police developed the lead while conducting surveillance of the Chattahoochee River near the Bankhead High-, way bridge. "One of them (surveillance efforts) turned up a substantive lead that led to a man being questioned," the source Kilgore could not be reached for comment.

Hillsborough State Attorney E.J. Salcines said Kilgore has been charged with accepting delivery from a pharmacist of controlled substances without legal authority or prescriptions. While saying that he could not tell the exact amount of the drugs that Kilgore was supposed to have accepted, Salcines noted that they were prescribed drugs commonly called killers, uppers, downers." The 38-year-old Kilgore has been a county judge since January 1977. Prior to becoming a judge, Kilgore was a vice-chairman of the Hillsborough County School Board and an attorney with the public defender's office. Two years ago, Kilgore was the subject of an eight-month investigation conducted by the State Attorney's Office and Hillsborough Sheriff's The investigation centered around alle-.

Both men have been charged with six counts of delivery of controlled substances. County Judge Don C. Kilgore was released on his own recognizance Wednesday evening after he turned himself in at the county's central booking facility.

Plant City pharmacist James Richard White also was released on his own recognizance. Both Kilgore and White are charged with two counts of delivering Loraze-pam, two counts of delivering Empirin and two counts of delivering Meprobo-mate. White said he was shocked when the State Attorney's Office called him and told him of the charges. He said, however, he knew an investigation was being conducted. "I had prescriptions from a doctor for all the drugs," he said.

But White refused to elaborate on the specifics of the purchase of the drugs. said. "The man was watched for a period and his home was searched tonight." ABC News and WSB-TV said a police team watching the river May 22 heard a splash, went to check out the sound and spotted a man who told them he had dumped trash in the water. On May 25, three days later, the body of Nathaniel Cater, 27, was found in the Chattahoochee River in northwest Atlanta near the Bankhead Highway bridge, according to the broadcast report. Cater had been strangled, medical examiners said.

The suspect had been under surveillance since the splashing incident, the report said. Members of the special task force searched the man's house Wednesday for about ilz hours and emerged with several bundles, WSB-TV said.
