The team held its final scrimmage before its first preseason game on the 31st against the Texans. Head coach Eddie Erdelatz called his team’s performance “just fair.” In particular, he praised the efforts of halfbacks Buddy Allen and Tony Teresa, guards Wayne Hawkins and Ron Sabal, center Jim Otto, and cornerback Joe Cannavino.

Owners Chet Soda, Don Blessing, Wayne Valley, and Ed McGah were in attendance and voiced their collective approval of the performance.

The team sent defensive end Jim Woodard home to Jacksonville, Texas, to recuperate from a severe knee injury he suffered early in camp. His return for the 1960 season was in doubt.
