Los Angeles Chargers owner Barron Hilton said the AFL would probably award the franchise in the next three weeks. In an evening session, the Oakland City Council approved a resolution showing their approval of the city’s pursuing a team and authorized mayor Clifford Rishell to create a “Citizens’ Action Committee” to that end.

City council “resolves to study” building of Oakland stadium. Hilton seeking Bay Area money to build team, but cagey about names. Haywood proposes Candlestick and Cal’s Memorial Stadium as possibilities, but acknowledges Cal’s opposition to pro use.
