The coaching staff ran the team through a surprise scrimmage, their first of camp. Head coach Eddie Erdelatz termed it “not too bad a scrimmage for the first time.”

The coaches promoted John Harris to first-string cornerback.

The Tribune reported that up to 18 players were liable to be called up for military service, including five potential starters: tight end Doug Asad, guard Wayne Hawkins, linebacker Tom Louderback, fullback Alan Miller, and tight end Gene Prebola.

The team waived center Roger Fisher, halfback Ted Cano, and receiver Charles Moore.

Scotty Stirling of the Tribune reported that halfback Tony Teresa had spent a week and a half in the hospital back in June for back pain. When asked, Teresa said his back was fine in practice, but acted up at night.

Guard Jim Green broke his nose in practice, but the equipment staff put a different facemask on his helmet, and he wasn’t expected to miss any time.
