• New head coach Red Conkright said he planned to institute a “Speed-T” or “Running Gun” offense similar to the Shotgun instituted by the 49ers last season, but would instead have the quarterback lineup only three-and-a-half yards back instead of the Shotgun’s seven to facilitate better use of the running game
• Wayne Hawkins was reinstated at the starting left guard spot ahead of Dan Ficca
• The team also planned to use Clem Daniels at fullback ahead of Alan Miller
• Left tackle Charles Brown was listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against the Bills
• To compensate the coaching staff planned to move tackle Jack Stone from the right to the left side and put Pete Nicklas in at right tackle
