Page 12-Saturday, June 2, 1979-The Michigan Daily SPOR TS OF THE DAILY Wing trio joins free agent ranks DETROIT-Reed Larson says he likes Detroit, but the 22-year-old Red Wings' defenseman, now a free agent, is playing the waiting game. Larson, Red Wing regular Vaclav Nedomansky, and veteran Terry Harper joined some 70 other National Hockey League players Thursday in the free agent ranks. "I can still be back with Detroit. That was never ruled out. I like it here," commented Larson. In both his NHL seasons, he set Red Wing scoring records for a defenseman. ALL THE MORE reason for the Red Wings to want him back. Larson is good bait for owners from other clubs, who will meet starting Monday at Nassau in the Bahamas. Nedomansky led Detroit in scoring this season with 38 goals and 35 assists for 73 points. "A guy who's been doing his job well should be able to research the market in a week I would say, cer- tainly in our case, we'll get back to Detroit in about a week," said Bill Watters of Sports Management, the Toronto-based group representing Nedomansky in the talks. WATTERS SAID Red Wings General Manager Ted Linsay has "made an offer to Vaclav which is a sub- stantial one. I'll have to get back with Detroit because I think he's happy in Detroit." Mickey Keating, assistant general manager of the New York Rangers, said this week his club will try to sign Nedomansky. The Red Wings also will be scanniig the field, par- ticularly for free agent Garry Unger and John Wen- sink, a free agent from the Boston Bruins, according to the Detroit News. Lindsay also is interested in many World Hockey League players, including Willy Linstrom of the league champion Winnipeg Jets, whom Lindsay en- tertained in Detroit this week. -AP * * * * Coach Who? Yesterday passed by without the naming of a new women's gymnastics coach, but that announscement is drawing near. That's the latest word from Women's Athletic Director Phyllis Ocker, who has spent the last month seeking out prospective coaching candidates. The search was necessitated by the resignations of Scott Ponto and Ginger Robey in April. -ALAN FANGER No-fault Franklin BALTIMORE-Jockey Ronnie Franklin, who rode Spectacular Hid to victory in the Kentucky Der- by and Preakness, was cleared yesterday morning af any wrongdoing in Thursday's feature race at Pimlico Race Course. The decision by the three track stewards to hold the 19-year-old Dundalk, Md., jockey blameless for inter- ference by his mount cleared the way for Franklin to ride Bid in the Belmont Stakes on June 9. THE STEWARDS looked at a video tape of the Jen nie's Joy Stakes before deciding that Franklin had tried not to impede the other horses, according to Steward F. Colwill. Franklin's mount, Croatoan, was disqualified and moved from first to seventh place in the feature race because of interference at the start. -AlP BULLETIN LANDOVER, Md.-The Seattle SuperSonics finally achieved revenge against the Washington Bullets last .night, beating them 97-93 to win the National Basket- ball Association title, four games to one.
