• 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

• The 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

• Guard Charlie Kaaihue was cut from the team for “disciplinary reasons”

• Though the team would not elaborate, Kaaihue’s dismissal was probably related to his appearance in court yesterday on a disturbing the peace charge

• The team signed Southern University fullback Jim Varnado and Northeastern State receiver Charley Moore

• Varnado was cut recently by the Chargers

• The team 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
