The New Jersey Sports & Exposi tion Authority, which puts on the game at Giants Stadium, announced the matchup Thursday and said the Kickoff Classic will be played on Sat urday night, Aug. 27. “Both teams should be ranked in the top 10 going into the season, so whichever team loses probably won’t drop off the cliff,” A&M Head Coach Jackie Sherrill said. Nebraska finished sixth in the fi nal 1987 Associated Press poll and A&M was 10th, both with 10-2 re cords. They have met on five occa sions, the last time in 1972, with Ne braska winning four of the five. Nebraska defeated Penn State 44- 6 in the first Kickoff Classic in 1983 while A&M, winner of three straight Southwest Conference champion ships, is making its first appearance. It also is the first time the SWC is represented. “These teams are genuine candi dates for the 1988 national championship, and the game will have national impact,” said Bob Mul- cahy, president and chief executive officer of the Sports Authority. “It gives us the highest ranked teams since Miami and Auburn in 1984, and we look for a blockbuster The addition of Nebraska gives A&M another rugged game on a schedule which includes September dates with three 1987 bowl teams — LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma State. “They can accuse me of a lot of things, but they can’t accuse me of dodging anybody,” said Sherrill, who also is A&M’s athletic director. “I don’t think anyone in the country will play a schedule as tough as that one. “Jackie Sherrill the athletic direc tor woke up this morning and wanted to play this game. Jackie Sherrill the coach is still asleep.

When Miami defeated Auburn 20-18 in Kickoff Classic II, the Hur ricanes were coming off the 1983 na tional championship and Auburn had finished third. An NCAA rule limiting a team to one Kickoff Classic appearance in five years prevented Miami from be- invited this ingi year. “There are two ways to look at it (the schedule). We’re taking on a very tough schedule, hut in our con ference we’re fighting for the Cotton Bowl and playing those four people up front is going to prepare us for the conference race. “Last year, playing LSU and Washington in our first two games certainly prepared us for the confer ence race.” Athletic Department officials originally had cast doubt on A&M’s participation in the game because the game would be only one week before the Aggies’ regular-season opener against LSU. Athletic De partment officials had said as late as Monday night A&M might not play in the game.

Navratilova survives upset bid in tourney DALLAS (AP) — Top-seeded Martina Navratilova, trailing 2-4 in the first set, rallied to a 6-4, 6-2, third-round victory over Larisa Sav chenko of the Soviet Union Thurs day in the $250,000 Virginia Slims of Dallas. Savchenko’s serve-and-volley game and unpredictable tactics con founded Navratilova early in the match. Navratilova went ahead 5-4, then had to fight off a break point before she closed out the first set. “She made some crazy shots, shots you wouldn’t normally try in certain situations,” Navratilova said. “You wonder if she’s really that good, if she knows what she’s doing, or what. She either hits a winner or misses.” Savchenko, 21, is one of six Soviet women competing this winter on the Virginia Slims tour in preparation for Olympic competition. Eighth- seeded Natalia Zvereva, the 16-year- old top junior in the world, is the only Soviet player left in the tourna ment. She faces second-seeded Pam Shriver in one of Friday’s quarterfi nals. “It was very bad,” Savchenko said through her interpreter, Soviet coach Olga Morozova. “When I was ahead, 1 wasn’t exactly nervous but I didn’t really believe 1 could win. I knew what I had to do. 1 just didn’t have enough concentration.” “You have to believe you can do it,” Morozova said. “You have to be strong inside and she’s not really strong yet.” The two other seeded players in action Thursday night easily ad vanced.
