News

• AFL officials met in Oakland to discuss a number of league matters, including plans to stock the Oakland team with players.

Transactions

• The league officially assigned the contracts of the following players to Oakland: defensive back George Blanch, lineman Clord Boyette, defensive tackle Willie Boykin, end Carmen Cavalli, quarterback Fran Curci, fullback Purcell Daniels, center Jim Otto, end Gene Prebola, quarterback Sam McCord, end Dan Edgington, halfback Abner Haynes, end Don Norton, lineman Bob Parker, and lineman Jim Woodard.

• All of the players had originally been drafted by the defunct Minneapolis/St. Paul franchise, but had signed with other AFL teams in the interim.

• Later in the day, Dallas owner Lamar Hunt insisted that Abner Haynes remain with his team and that Oakland would be compensated with another player or perhaps a choice in next year's draft.

• Head coach Eddie Erdelatz said he had spoken with all the players on the list and that it was “doubtful” that Norton would come to Oakland.
