Cup winners celebrate
Detroit brings home first cup since 1955
The Associated Press
DETROIT — A red sea of hockey worshippers parted yesterday for the Detroit Red Wings, who paraded before some 1 million fans as the silver Stanley Cup that eluded the franchise for 42 years sparkled under cloudless skies.
"For all Red Wings fans, this is your day in the sun," coach Scotty Bowman told the screaming throngs at a Hart Plaza rally that followed a two-hour parade down Woodward Avenue.
The players and coaches rode in red convertibles, feted for their sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night that ended an NHL championship drought dating to 1955.
"Even though our names are
HOCKEY
going on the trophy, we couldn't have done it without you," forward Darren McCarty told the crowd.
"I want to thank everyone for coming out today to celebrate an outstanding world-class — and underline the word 'class' — Red Wings hockey team, coaching staff, trainers and owners," Mayor Dennis Archer said. "They did our city very proud."
The last Detroit team to celebrate a championship downtown, the NBA's Pistons, drew slightly more than 500,000 people to rally in their title years of 1989-90.
Yesterday, the streets were a surging sea of red and white — Red Wings T-shirts, jerseys, hats and banners. Somebody waved a flag from the former Soviet Union, the homeland of five Detroit players, from a hockey stick.
"Take a look at that crowd," team owner Mike Litch said from the Hart Plaza podium. "We've got

more fans in Detroit than they got in the whole NIL."
Crowds began gathering shortly after daybreak to get a linesman's eye view of the parade.
The players wore T-shirts and dark glasses. Some pointed camcorders at the crowd to make their own souvenirs. Viacheslav Fetisov, one of the "Russian Five," carried a handmade sign: "We (red heart) our fans."
Bringing up the rear with Ilitch was Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman, who held the 35-pound Stanley Cup aloft amid deafening cheers. As Yzerman crept toward Hart Plaza, the crowd swarmed curbside barricades, heading to his car as he raised the Cup again and again.
"I didn't think anything could top Saturday night," Yzerman said. "But I've got tell you, coming down Woodward Avenue today was the icing on the cake. I'll never forget it."
UMass awaiting player's donation
Associated Press Writer
AMHERST, Mass. — Marcus Camby may set up a scholarship fund with money he promised the University of Massachusetts to make up for the NCAA penalty he provoked, a representative for Camby's NBA team said yesterday.
But more than a month after Camby's promise, university administrators still are waiting for the gift. It has put them in an awkward spot.
"It's not like we're in a position to say, 'You must pay it by such and such a date.' When it comes, we'll say "Thank you!" said Bill Strickland, a
campus athletic representative.
He predicted that Camby will pay, though he could not say when. A representative for Camby's team, the Toronto Raptors, also said that Camby intended to make the gift.
"There was some question over the form of the payment," said Matt Akler, a Raptors' representative.

He said Camby had considered establishing a scholarship fund or making a one-time donation.
The former Massachusetts center said on May 8 that he would pay back $151,000 in tournament revenue that the NCAA ordered the school to return. Camby apologized and said that he had made a mistake by accepting gifts.
Earlier that day, the NCAA had stripped UMass of its 1996 tournament record, when the Minutemen reached the Final Four. NCAA officials ruled that Camby ruined his amateur status by accepting gifts from an agent to try hoo him as a client.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The NCAA accepted Arkansas' self-imposed sanctions for breaking the rules in its basketball program and ordered the school to set up a monitoring program.
After a 16-month investigation, the NCAA concluded yesterday that most of Arkansas' violations were inadvertent.
The Associated Press
"We are asking them to go a little bit further in their compliance program and report back to us on what they are doing," said David Swank, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
Other accusations involved improperly allowing some former junior college athletes to play at Arkansas, giving prospective student athletes tickets to basketball tournaments and illegal academic help, which was provided by Kim Wood, daughter of Chancellor Dan Ferritor.
In November 1996, the NCAA sent Arkansas a letter outlining seven violations, including a broad accusation that the program had operated without appropriate institutional control.

"We're asking them to go a little bit further in their compliance program."

The most serious violations involved an academic counselor who has since stepped down, Swank said.
He said that Wood's resignation probably softened the school's penalty.
Wood quit after acknowledging she typed correspondence course papers and then lied to investigators about it.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The NCAA still is concerned about the university's structure for certifying athletes' academic eligibility. It said Arkansas must develop a program to monitor how athletes were certified.
Ferritor said yesterday that the school had admitted to some of the violations but had successfully challenged three other allegations. He said that it was the first time in three years that the NCAA had alleged lack of institutional control and then failed to support the allegation.
"The warning signs brought to light as a result of this case should help the university prevent future violations," the committee said.
Raven rushes his recovery
The Associated Press
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Bam Morris is off to a running start in his effort to become the NFL's leading rusher in 1997.
Morris, 25, missed minicamp and training camp last season while serving a drug-related suspension. But he made up for lost time in the final two months of the regular season after breaking into the Baltimore Ravens' starting lineup.
Morris finished with three 100- yard games, 25 catches for 242 yards, and five touchdowns. During
"I'm not one to settle for being second to nobody," Morris said after yesterday's minicamp.
Morris was released in July by the Pittsburgh Steelers after police found six pounds of marijuana in the trunk of his car. He pleaded guilty and avoided serious jail time, but had to serve an NFL-mandated suspension.

the final seven games he rushed for 618 yards, second in the NFL behind Barry Sanders with 756 yards.
Ravens owner Art Modell decided to give Morris a second chance with the team. Morris ended up as Baltimore's leading rusher, compiling 737 yards on 172 carries.
Morris said he had a lot to learn.
"When I got here, there's a lot of stuff I didn't know," Morris said. "I came in the middle of the season and we were just staying with the basic routine. Now I have the chance to learn the whole play book right from the beginning."
Morris is recovering from arthroscopic surgery that he underwent in January on his right knee.
