From exhibition label: "EARLY RAIDER RUSHERS, OCTOBER 13, 1960--Because Oakland was the last team admitted to the original AFL, the Raiders initially lagged behind in quality of player personnel.

Teresa led the team in rushing with 608 yards and in scoring with 10 touchdowns. Lott was the leading receiver with 49 catches. Flores would enjuoy seven seasons as a player with the Raiders."
