"We've agreed in principle to do the series," said Athletic Director lom Goss . The lone sticking point is a game in Cal's schedule that the school is trying to reschedule in order to play the game with Michigan. Once Cal's game - beleived to be against Illinois - is moved from that date, the two schools will be able to play each other. Goss has said that part of the appeal of a Michigan-Cal series is the schools' similar academic repu- tations. Another, more tangible benefit is the large amount of Michigan alumni in the Bay Area. Cal is also precisely the kind of team Michigan would like to play in the non-conference season. The Bears aren't cupcakes, but aren't exactly last year's Syracuse or Notre Dame teams, either. Michigan has large concentra- tions of alumni on the East coast, which could lead to future contests in that area, although no game has been established. The last time Michigan played on the East coast was in 1995, when the Wolverines played Boston College. - By Rick Freeman Lions win first game of post-Sanders era SEATTLE (AP) - The Detroit Lions started the day without Barry Sanders, then lost Herman Moore with a sprained left knee early in the game. It didn't discourage the Lions, who got three touchdown passes from Charlie Batch in the first half and spoiled Mike Holmgren's debut in Seattle with a 28-20 victo- ry over the Seahawks on Sunday. "Everybody in the world thought they (the Seahawks) would win the ball game," Moore said. "I think it's a shock for everyone. But it wasn't a shock for us." Playing for the first time in II seasons without the retired Sanders, Detroit also had to play most of the game without its star receiver, Moore. He sprained his left knee in the first quarter and could not contin- ue, sn-apping his streak of 107 straight games with a reception. Moore - expected to be out for about four weeks, said the NFL is about to find out about Germane Crowell, a second-round draft choice from Virginia in 1998 who caught two touchdown passes. "He had a tremendous game," Moore said. "FHe's a guy we all had a lot of confidence in. Right now, people don't know a lot about him. But they're about to find out." Batch threw touchdownpasses of 16 yards and 41 yards to Crowell and 5 yards to David Sloan in the second quarter, when the Lions scored 22 points. Sanders walked away from the NFL this summer needing only 1,458 yards too overtake Walter Payton as the career rushing leader. The Lions were 5-11 with him last season and they played as if they had something to prove in their opner. Lions coach Bobby Ross said his players responded to the challenge of winning without Sanders and Moore. "You've got to play up to your capabilities," Ross said. "If we do that, we can be competative." Batch completed 16 of 26 passes for 216 yards and threw three touchdowns with one interception. Crowell had his first 100-yard receiving day, catching seven pass- es for 141 yards and two scores. NEW YORK (AP) - Andre Agassi never lost his serve or his nerve, even when Todd Martin seemed to have him beat, as he capped one of the greatest summers in tennis history by capturing his second U.S. Open. Agassi came up with his most spec- tacular shots -- none better than a lunging return from the court that broke Martin's serve and spirit -- in a dominating fifth set to win 6-4, 6-7 (5- 7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-2. Agassi's fifth Grand Slam title ended a summer run that began with his surprising surge to the French Open championship and continued with his runner-up finish to Pete Sampras at Wimbledon. No man since Ivan Lendl in 1986 had gone to three straight Grand Slam finals in the same year. No man had fought back to win the U.S. Open from a 2-1 deficit in sets since John Newcombe in 1973, but that's exactly what Agassi had to do against an inspired Martin playing one of the finest matches of his life. Martin always had all the tools of a champion -- the big serve, the sweet groundstrokes, the heart of a fighter -- and he almost became one at age 29. After losing his first service and the first set, Martin went toe-to-toe with Agassi for the next two sets, staying with him through long rallies and ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Who: Aija Pt:t enger Hometown: Virginia Beach, Va.

Background: Two-time letter winner: starting outside hitter; pla- tooned as starting center last season. Winner of 1997 Michigan Athletic Achievement award. I. 01 Agassi is last man standing in 5-set epi*c, clubbing him with aces to force a pair of tiebreakers that he won with unex- pected ease. But Agassi, who guaranteed himself the No. I ranking after beating Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the semifinals, responded the way the best player i the world should. Agassi bore down on Martin's serve early in the fourth set and broke him to change the tenor of the match. On one point in that game, Agassi alm1st knocked Martin out, literally, slam- ming an overhead from point-blank range that missed Martin's skull by inches. Martin never recovered. Though he ran his ace total to 23 -- 16 more that Agassi -- he never could find a wayt break Agassi's serve. When Agassi broke him again at the end of the fourth set, the last point on a forehand return that clipped the net cord and hopped over to handcuff Martin, the outcome seeme; certain. Agassi made it five games in a roW when he won the first three in the fihal set, and he closed out the match ' by breaking Martin one more time. "I'll tell you what, how can you as# for anything more than two Amerienm in the final of the U.S. Open play'g a great five-set match?" Agassi told the .crowd after accepting the trophy and the winner's check for $750,000.
