Pro Charts Denver Broncos Outlook and Moves
Pro Charts notes a unsettled Broncos roster under Lou Sabon with big changes looming. Offense appears unclear but includes potential at running back with Floyd Little and Cookie Gilchrist in shape, while quarterback and playmakers mix. Defense shows heavy turnover, with Pete Durasko stepping at tackle and several possible trades or signings. Prediction: Broncos face a tough West alongside roster instability and travel costs mount.

Divisional Play Plan Has Failed
The American League plan for divisional play failed to move forward as National League owners tabled the idea after two days of meetings. Warren Giles cited lack of notice and departure from pennant race tradition as objections. The plan would have Eastern and Western divisions with a playoff to decide the league champion. Commissioner William Eckert indicated further consideration was possible. In other business, Charles Finley said he hired a consulting firm to study Kansas City Oakland and Seattle to chart the franchise’s future as the Athletics near Municipal Stadium lease end.
