General manager Chet Soda contacted the league office again to reiterate his protest concerning the Chargers’ use of linebacker Al Bansavage in yesterday’s game. Soda contended that Bansavage’s AFL signing rights belonged to the Raiders, that the Chargers had no right to use him in a game, and that the Chargers should forfeit the game. AFL commissioner Joe Foss said he would take the matter up by mid-week.

The Oakland City Council and Alameda County Board of Supervisors met and selected the site for a proposed multi-purpose sports stadium. The site chosen was near the intersection of Hegenberger Road and the Nimitz Freeway in southwest part of Oakland. The land was currently owned by the East Bay Municipal District and was being used for storage.
