Head coach Eddie Erdelatz put his team through an unscheduled scrimmage.

The coaching staff moved Ron Sabal from guard to tackle and promoted Don Manoukian to Sabal’s guard spot. They staff also moved Brad Myers to make room for Jim Varnado (see below) at fullback.

The team waived halfbacks Alexander Gardner and Ray Peterson, tackle Willie Boykin, guard Bob Harrison, and defensive back Bob Fails. They also signed Southern University fullback Jim Varnado and Northeastern State receiver Charles Moore. Varnado had been recently cut recently by the Chargers. The team also invited guard Gil Ane, fresh from the Steelers, to camp for a tryout.

Middle linebacker Tom Louderback and defensive end Charley Powell were in football gear for the first time since their recent injuries, but neither participated in the scrimmage.
