-• 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]]. +
