News

Yesterday’s heated exchange between owners prompted an “emergency meeting” of the stockholders with one of the owners reportedly having voiced his desire to sell off his share of the team.

The team reported that recently signed defensive tackle Glenn Holtzman had not shown up for practice and they surmised that he might have chosen to quit football altogether.

Tackle Paul Oglesby, signed at the same time as Holtzman, reported to the team.

A Kezar Stadium official reported that, of the 12,703 in attendance at the Oilers game, only 8,620 of those paid their way in.

The team waived four players: quarterback Paul Larson, halfback Luther Carr, and tackles Don Churchwell and Joe Barbee. They also added three players: tight end Doug Asad, who had been waived by the Oilers, running back Nyle McFarlane, who had been in training camp with the Cowboys, and receiver Al Hoisington, who had been waived by the Texans.

Multiple sources reported that the team had acquired linebacker Riley Morris off waivers from the Chargers, but the team had not confirmed the transaction.
