News

• The AFL released their final official statistics of the season and among the individual finishers were Eddie Macon in second place with nine interceptions and Jack Larscheid third with a kickoff return average of 28.4 yards per return

Tom Flores led all league passers in completion percentage at 54.0

• After the second day of the team's ownership meeting Chet Soda acknowledged the long-held opinion of observers that head coach Eddie Erdelatz was interested in the general manager job and that that interest could have some bearing on whether he returned for a second season

• Soda said Erdelatz would be “given every consideration” for the job, but that the owners would have to “kick [it] around quite a while” before deciding

• He added that the owners did not discuss the issue at today's meeting and that Erdelatz had assured Soda that he would coach the team in 1961 regardless of the decision

• Curley Grieve of the Examiner reported several days after the fact that Robert Osborne did not attend one, or possibly both, of the meetings
