Oakland defeated Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon behind a strong showing by quarterback Fred Besana. He accounted for all three touchdowns on the day. He threw two and ran in for the third. The defense forced three turnovers by the Maulers.
Those three turnovers came at the expense of quarterback Glenn Carano. He threw three interceptions in the game. That gave Oakland the win in spite of Pittsburgh outplaying Oakland in most aspects of the game.
