MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ University of Minnesota hockey coach Doug Woog and an assistant coach deceived school officials and took other steps to conceal Woog's payment of $500 to a player in 1994, a published report said. In a copyright story in Sunday's editions, the Star Tribune also reported that high-ranking athletic department officials ignored ``strong signals'' they received of a possible violation in the program soon after the payment.
