• Oakland mayor Clifford Rishell, California state assemblyman Don Mulford, and members of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce met to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting with Barron Hilton and other Chargers officials

• Hilton said Oakland was “almost a unanimous choice” for the last AFL franchise

• Hilton also said a decision wouldn’t come until at least the 21st, when the league had its next meeting

• Prospective ownership groups would be required to post $25,000 in earnest money

• Robert Lurie, a San Francisco-based prospective owner, said he’d prefer that a team be based in that city rather than Oakland

• Robert Osborne, an Oakland city council member and area industrialist, said a group made up of “prominent East Bay citizens” headed by insurance magnate George Jacopetti was also interested in backing a team
