Front hub problem for Newbie

I decided to tackle the front hub on my 80's schwinn sprint. Disassembly when fine, got everything cleaned up (bearings are in a cage not free), regreased, and put back together. The problem is there is some "play" (side to side) when the wheel is attached to the bike? Not much, but noticeable if you push on the tire. If I tighten the hubs any tighter, the wheel does not spin smoothly? Did I put something together wrong? Will the "play" damage the hub or rim over time if I ride it like this?
