The team resumed two-a-day practices.

Guard Gil Ane, added to the team yesterday, left camp temporarily to return to his Oregon home to care for his daughter who was battling pneumonia.

The team announced their final preseason game against the Patriots, originally scheduled for September 4, had been moved up to August 28.

The team cut three players: tackle Fred Fehn, guard Lou Byrd, and fullback Jim Varnado. Varnado had just been signed yesterday after having washed out of Chargers camp, but he reported to the Raiders out of shape and head coach Eddie Erdelatz didn’t think the team had enough time to wait for him to get into playing condition

The current roster listed neither defensive lineman Jim Woodard, nor receiver Ron Beagle, both of whom had been sent home to recover from injuries.

Defensive end Charley Powell practiced for the first time in more than a week.
