News

• According to Chet Soda, today's meeting of the ownership group covered “fiscal and corporate problems” and did not include talk of any owners selling out, as had been previously reported

• Again, per Soda, the owners agreed to operate again in 1961 and play their home games in Candlestick Park

• They also hoped to have an Oakland stadium in place, possibly as early as 1962

• They acknowledged losing about $400,000 in their first season, but said it was a smaller deficit than any other team in the league, except Denver and Buffalo

• When asked whether the group discussed whether Eddie Erdelatz would coach the team again next year, Soda said Erdelatz had signed a two-year deal and that “he's still working for us, period”

• The group planned to meet again tomorrow

• Don Selby's story in the Examiner identified team attorney William Hayes as a member of the team's board of directors, though he did not own a share of the team

• The San Francisco Park and Recreation Commission released the official attendance numbers for 1960 which revealed that for the seven home games, the Raiders attracted a total of 65,756 fans, of whom 49,235 paid their way in

Transactions

• The team acquired tackle Jack Stone from the Texans as consideration for the Raiders having given up the rights to halfback Abner Haynes to the Texans last spring
