Golf
STOCKTON CLINIC: PGA professional Dave Stockton will offer a free Junior Golf clinic at Park Meadows today at 4:30 p.m. for all golfers 16 years and under.
During a reception following Friday's round of the Franklin Quest Championship, Stockton and the rest of the participants and guests raised $5,000 for the U.S. Ski Team.
Football
RANDALL RETIRES: Thanking everyone from owners to trainers while trying not to take parting shots at his critics, quarterback Randall Cunningham retired from football on Friday after 11 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Unceremoniously released by the Eagles following last season, Cunningham, 33, said he made his decision after the only team he wanted to play for - the St. Louis Rams - didn't sign him.
He recently signed a contract as a studio analyst with TNT and runs a marble-and-granite business in his hometown of Las Vegas.
Basketball
ASSAULT VICTIM WON'T PLAY: Kate McEwen, who gained national attention as the victim of football star Lawrence Phillips' assault last fall, said she will not return to the Nebraska women's basketball team, although she has two years of eligibility remaining.
McEwen, a 5-foot-8 guard, told Nebraska women's coach Angela Beck, however, that she will stay in school.
LOBO WON'T JOIN BLIZZARD: Former Connecticut basketball star and Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Lobo will not play for the New England Blizzard of the American Baseball League, team officials confirmed Friday.
Blizzard spokesman Steve Raczynski said Lobo's agent, Kenton Edelin, informed the team of her decision early Friday evening.
The announcement ended two months of speculation whether Lobo would join the Blizzard and be reunited with Connecticut teammate Jennifer Rizzotti or opt for playing opportunities elsewhere. Lobo was also being courted by a new women's league sponsored by the NBA.
Boxing
BRUNO RETIRES: Six weeks ago, Frank Bruno was talking about a third title fight with Mike Tyson. On Friday, the 34-year-old announced his retirement after learning he might lose vision in one eye if he kept fighting.
Tyson all but ended Bruno's career in March - in what turned out to be the Briton's last fight - when he pummeled him and then knocked him out in the third round of their WBC title fight in March in Las Vegas.
Bruno went into the fight as the world champion, a title it took him 13 years and four attempts to land. He came out as the good-humored loser - an overachiever who was fortunate to ever win a world title - and remains one of Britain's most popular sports figures.
Cycling
ARMSTRONG'S MILLION: Former world champion cyclist Lance Armstrong will make more than $1 million per year racing for the French team Cofidis, according to his agent.
Armstrong, who became a free agent earlier this year when Motorola pulled out as his team sponsor, is expected to sign the contract with Cofidis within a week, his agent, Bill Stapleton, told the Austin American-Statesman.
Tennis
FRAUD AT OPEN: An Israeli man and three New Yorkers were nabbed in a phony ticket scam at the U.S. Open, the Queens district attorney said Friday.
Aleksey Roberman, 21, of Brooklyn, was arrested as the alleged forger of the passes that District Attorney Richard Brown called "a sophisticated little operation."
The prosecutor charged that Roberman had supplied his cousin, Alec Shnapir, 22, of Haifa, Israel; Alexey Nenashev, 18, of Brooklyn, and Mehul Dhru, 26, of Queens, with the phony tickets.
Shnapir had come from Israel to visit Roberman, and told him he wanted to go to the U.S. Open. So Roberman gave him one of his homemade tickets, Brown said.
Hockey
PARALYZED PLAYER RETURNS TO CLASS: Travis Roy isn't worried about whether his classes will be hard. He's worried about how hard they'll be to get to.
Roy has returned to Boston University in a wheelchair, less than a year after he was paralyzed in his first hockey game for the Terriers.
"There are so many things on my mind and I have so many things to worry about now: how to get back and forth to the classes, how I'm going to go to the dining room and eat," Roy said Friday. "Crossing (Commonwealth Avenue, which bisects the campus) will be a big challenge."
Roy moved into Shelton Hall, a dormitory where a second-floor room has been outfitted with a special bed, shower and electric doors. He is the only quadriplegic at Boston University, which has 29,828 students.
