Former USC and pro football player Bill Radovich plans a retrial of his $105,000 antitrust damage suit against the National Football League after the Supreme Court ruled pro football falls under antitrust scrutiny. Radovich denies aims to wreck football and says the case centers on freedom of players to switch clubs.
