1965 African Cup of Nations qualification
This page details the process of qualifying for the 1965 African Cup of Nations.


1965 African Cup of Nations qualification, Group stage, Zone 1
Egypt qualified by default after both Morocco and Nigeria withdrew. Egypt later also withdrew itself due to the deterioration of its diplomatic relations with Tunisia following a speech in Jericho by Tunisian President Bourguiba, who called on the Arab countries to recognize Israel.


1965 African Cup of Nations qualification, Group stage, Zone 2
The match in Nairobi between Kenya and Ethiopia was awarded as a 0-2 walkover win, after Ethiopia lodged a protest with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) because Kenya had fielded two players (Moses Wabwayi and Stephen Baraza) who were ineligible as they had represented Uganda previously. The walkover enabled Ethiopia to qualify ahead of Sudan. CAF also suspended the two players for one year (backdated beginning from September 1964) after Uganda protested that they were still registered with the Uganda F.A. and had not received official transfers. Kenya argued against the ruling and sent documents to prove that the two were Kenyan citizens, having been born in Kenya. The case was also referred to FIFA.


1965 African Cup of Nations qualification, Egypt's withdrawal
After Egypt withdrew, CAF announced that there would be a playoff between the second-placed teams in the other three Zones to determine Egypt's replacement in the final tournament. Sudan declined the invitation to participate so a single playoff match was scheduled to be held in Accra (Ghana) on 31-10-65 between Congo-Léopoldville and Guinea. However, Guinea withdrew shortly before this date, leaving Congo-Léopoldville to qualify by default.

1965 Algerian coup d'état
The 1965 Algerian coup d'état brought Colonel Houari Boumédiène to power as Chairman of the Revolutionary Council in Algeria. The bloodless coup d'état saw Algeria's first President, Ahmed Ben Bella, arrested and his closest supporters imprisoned by Boumédiène and his allies, principally in the Algerian People's National Army (the land force of the Algerian People's National Armed Forces). The arrest of Ben Bella occurred on 19 June 1965.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Background
Following the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), with the help of then Chief of Staff Houari Boumédiène and the National Liberation Army (ALN), Ahmed Ben Bella was elected as Prime Minister in September 1962, ousting former Prime Minister Benyoucef Benkhedda. Owing to his support of Ben Bella, Boumédiène was appointed Defense Minister by Ben Bella and remained in this position until 1976.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Background
From 1962 to 1965, Ben Bella governed in an often erratic manner and centralized more and more government institutions by appointing himself the Secretary General of the Party, minister of the Interior, and the head of other bodies. Concerns of Ben Bella's demagogic behavior pervaded the Algerian government, with many government cadres coming to Boumédiène to voice their worries and complaints about the President.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Background
Boumédiène spent time traveling in early 1965, making trips to Baghdad, Cairo, and Moscow. In Cairo, he represented Algeria at a summit of Arab countries and met with Soviet leadership in Moscow. In April 1965, Ben Bella ordered local police to report directly to him rather than through the normal channels in the Ministry of Interior. The interior minister, Ahmed Medeghri, one of Boumédiène's closest associates, resigned in protest. By late May, Boumédiène had begun having serious conversations with leading government figures, mostly in the army, on removing Ben Bella. The three central initial conspirators allied to Boumédiène were Abdelkader Chabou, Djamel, and Hocine, however by early June the circle of conspirators had grown to include Chief of Staff of the ANP, Tahar Zbiri, the commander of the 1st military region ("l'Algerois"), and other regional officers throughout Algeria.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Background
By mid June, there was a feeling of emergency within the army, leading many commanders to agree to execute a plan that they had no real knowledge of. The coup plan was designed carefully, with Boumédiène's goal being to execute "the most elegant coup d'etat" in recent memory. A friend of Ben Bella attempted to warn him about the coup on the 16th, but Ben Bella dismissed him. "Marionnettes (puppets) such as them are not capable of carrying out a coup," he replied.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Coup
On the evening of 18 June 1965, the leaders of the coup set the plan to remove Ben Bella in motion. That night, Boumédiène remained at his office where he supervised the coup execution that was broadly entrusted to commander Chabou, one of the first conspirators. As president, Ben Bella took residence at a place named the ‘Villa Joly’, located in Algiers. Typically, guards of the Compagnies nationales de securite (CNS) protected the compound and the guards changed shifts at 8:00pm every night; however, on 18 June Ahmed Draia, director of security, ensured that the new guards for the night shift were djounoud loyal to the military.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Coup
At 1:00am, Boumédiène ordered tanks to be deployed throughout the capital at strategic positions such as Grande Poste d'Alger, Radio-Télévision Algérienne, and Place de l'Émir-Abdelkader (the seat of the party at the time). The film The Battle of Algiers was being shot in the capital at the time, and many onlookers thought the military movement was connected to shooting the movie. Around 1:30am, Tahar Zbiri, Said Abid, and colonel Abbes approached Villa Joly and were let in by the replacement guards at the entrance.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Coup
Tahar Zbiri awoke Ben Bella, who slept on the sixth floor, and stated “On behalf of the Revolutionary Council, I have orders to arrest you on the charge of high treason.” The three military officers allowed Ben Bella to get dressed and then took him in a car to a location in the city of Maison-Carrée, 20 kilometers from Algiers, where he was placed under house arrest. Zbiri reported to Boumédiène: "Mission accomplished." Ben Bella would remain under house arrest until 1980 and would not return publicly to Algeria until 1990.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Coup
By 3:00am on 19 June, the coup was effectively over with no bloodshed.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
On 19 June, Boumédiène broadcast a radio address which stated that the removal of Ben Bella was necessary to ensure continuity of the revolution. He accused Ben Bella of attempting to hijack the Afro-Asian Unity Conference for personal gain without regard to the other countries of the organization. Boumédiène announced that Algeria would not be able to host the conference under these circumstances but expressed his support for the ideals of the organization.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
However, the Pan-African Cultural Festival (PANAF) with attendees from all over the world, including the Black Panthers, would be organized by the Boumédiène administration in 1969 and held in Algiers. In the speech he also called Ben Bella a charlatan and an adventurist, possibly a reference to Ben Bella's support of Niger rebels using Algeria as a safe haven for their activity against the Diori government in Niger, something Boumédiène never supported. Another radio announcement by Kaïd Ahmed on the same day stated that the "instability, demagogy, anarchy, lies, and improvisation" of Ben Bella's government were over.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
On 19 and 20 June people began protesting against the coup and chanting pro-Ben Bella slogans; the new government attempted to disperse the protests, but the local police, not military elements were used to maintain order in most instances. In Algiers, between two and three thousand people roamed the streets, calling for the assassination of Boumédiène. Radio addresses repeatedly called for calm, and sometimes threatened the protesters. Several people were arrested, including 50 French far-left supporters of Ben Bella.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
On 5 July, Boumédiène announced the creation of the Revolutionary Council (RC) with himself serving as president of the RC, Minister of Defense, and President of the Council of Ministers. Boumédiène announced that the RC's two main goals were economic self-reliance and independent of foreign influence to the Algerian people and internally the RC sought to end regionalism, solidify the state, and to reform the wilayahs.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
Boumédiène's first travel abroad was in September 1965 to Casablanca at an Arab summit followed by a summit for the Organization of African Unity (today the African Union) in October. The RC began the country's first census in December at the same time Boumédiène visited Moscow for the second time in 1965. On the anniversary of the coup, he addressed the Algerian people again and reemphasized his goals to end regionalism, move progressively toward socialism, keep Algeria 'Algerian', resit foreign influence, support former freedom fighters, and remove remaining French bases from the Sahara.


1965 Algerian coup d'état, Aftermath
One year after the coup, Boumédiène pursued these goals by visiting the Eastern, Western, Tiaret, and Oasis wilayahs and progressively nationalizing industries such as mining to guard against foreign interference. He also reorganized the FLN in June 1966. In 1965, there were 2 million unemployed workers and Boumédiène pursued a realist-based policy approach to stabilize the Algerian economy, state, and society while building "a socialism which conforms to the realities of the country."

1965 All-Africa Games, History
The first games to open to the entire African continent occurred a full forty years after they were first intended. Pierre de Coubertin, had proposed the first African Games be held in Algiers, Algeria in 1925. The games were never organized. Four years later, Alexandria, Egypt had almost completed preparations for the African Games of 1929 when the colonial powers stepped in to cancel the games, weeks before they were to begin. The colonizers felt the games might serve to unite Africa, and help them break free from their colonial status. The idea of a continental games languished for a time until regional games in West Africa the early sixties paved the way for the first continental games to be held in July 1965.


1965 All-Africa Games, History
Foreshadowing what was to become accepted protocol at major international games, and reflecting the continents relative political instability, the Congo-Brazzaville Army was on high alert throughout the games for "malcontents" and "counter-revolutionaries". All highways in and out of Brazzaville were patrolled by armored vehicles and all cars within the city, except for games participants and journalists, were stopped and inspected at major checkpoints.

1965 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Summary
For the first time since the 1941 All-Ireland Final, the same two counties contested the decider in successive years. However, it was far from the magical spectacle that fans expected, given the high-scoring performance that both sides gave in the 1964 final. Destructive football and indiscriminate jersey-pulling, leading to three players being sent-off, marred a game that never delivered as much as it had promised. 13 of the 21 scores came from frees, both Bernie O'Callaghan and Cyril Dunne called upon many times to edge their county ahead.


1965 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Summary
It was essentially "Survival of the Fittest", but even in this unpromising setting, there were some performances of real merit. Pat Donnnellan, who had outplayed Denis O'Sullivan early on, stepped into the breach at a stage when O'Callaghan had reduced Kerry's arrears to a minimum. The Kerry resurgence had been fueled by a vintage period for Mick O'Connell, but when the Galway mentors switched Donnellan onto the Valentia man, midfield control - slight though it was - swung back to the reigning champions.


1965 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Summary
With 15 minutes remaining, Seamus Leydon had Galway's twelfth point but Kerry had not the ability to profit from this period of stagnation, and their only return for some enthusiastic, but poorly organised attacks, was the pointed frees from O'Connell and O'Callaghan. The margin of three points hardly flattered Galway but the Tribesmen had too much on the day for Kerry and duly collected their second consecutive All-Ireland title.


1965 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Summary
It was the second of three in a row All-Ireland football titles won by Galway in the 1960s, which made them joint "team of the decade" with Down who also won three.

The head coaches, Sid Gillman and Lou Saban, had faced each other in the 1964 AFL Championship game three weeks earlier, when Saban's Buffalo Bills had defeated Gillman's San Diego Chargers.


1965 American Football League All-Star game

1965 American Football League All-Star game
Originally scheduled to take place in Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, the game had to be moved at short notice to Jeppesen Stadium, home of the Houston Oilers. The twenty-one African American players on the All-Star teams encountered numerous instances of racism in New Orleans during the build-up to the game, and voted to stage a boycott, which forced the change of venue.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Boycott
On 21 May, 1964, New Orleans businessman David Dixon met with the AFL owners to discuss various proposals that would bring football to his city. He hoped to host either postseason games or the All-Star game in Tulane Stadium, as a stepping stone to establishing a New Orleans franchise in either the AFL or the rival NFL. on 1 July, New Orleans were announced as hosts for the next All-Star game, which had previously been hosted by San Diego's Balboa Stadium.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Boycott
The game was scheduled to take place six months after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which aimed to end racial segregation in the United States. Ten days prior to the game, Tulane Stadium had hosted the 1965 Sugar Bowl, which featured eight African American players and was the first Sugar Bowl to be completely integrated; this game went ahead without major incident. When the AFL All-Stars arrived in New Orleans the week before their game, however, the Black players encountered numerous problems, starting at the airport when they tried to hail taxis to take them to their hotels.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Boycott
White taxi drivers refused to give the players rides, or else took them to the wrong location. After reaching their hotels, some of the players went out to sample the French Quarter, but were greeted by overtly racist remarks, and acts such as having their coats taken from racks and thrown on the floor in restaurants. When a group tried to enter nightclub that was playing James Brown music, they were denied entry, with a doorman flashing a gun at Ernie Ladd.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Boycott
In response to these incidents, all twenty-one Black players gathered to discuss their response in the Roosevelt Hotel, where the West team were stationed. While some wanted to go ahead with the game, Ladd and Cookie Gilchrist were influential figures in persuading the majority to boycott, which they opted to do after a vote. San Diego tackle Ron Mix tried to persuade the Black players to go ahead with the game, but they stood by their decision, with Clem Daniels stating that playing the game would serve to condone the treatment they had received. Mix then joined the boycott in a show of solidarity, as did Buffalo quarterback Jack Kemp.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Boycott
On January 11, AFL Commissioner Joe Foss announced that due to the boycott, the game would be moved to Houston. Daniels, one of a handful of players who made statements, said, "We are not wanted here so we are leaving."


1965 American Football League All-Star game, The game
The West took the lead on the first play from scrimmage, and kept it for the entire game. Len Dawson's long pass to Keith Lincoln covered 73 yards to open the scoring, though Dawson was knocked out of the game with a bloody nose on his next series. John Hadl replaced Dawson and doubled the lead with a touchdown to wide open Oakland receiver Clem Daniels early in the 2nd quarter. The East responded with a 10-play, 80-yard drive, with Sid Blanks scoring from the 5. Following a Tom Brooker field goal for the West, Nick Buoniconti forced a fumble by Abner Haynes, and returned the ball for a touchdown himself, making it 17–14 at halftime.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, The game
Lincoln scored again on the first West drive of the second half, taking a pitchout to the right and outpacing the defense for an 80-yard touchdown run. Later in the 3rd quarter, Hadl was intercepted by Butch Byrd, but the Buffalo defensive back attempted a lateral that was claimed by the West's Art Powell. Hadl and his San Diego teammate Lance Alworth connected for a touchdown on the next play. Hadl completed the scoring with his third touchdown pass, and second to a Raider, with Powell the recipient.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, The game
East kicker Gino Cappelletti had a difficult game, missing four kicks and having a fifth blocked (on another occasion, the East turned the ball over on downs after fake field goal didn't work). After the blocked kick, Jerry Maves picked up the ball and lateralled to Bobby Bell, who returned it 72 yards for an apparent touchdown, controversially ruled out as the lateral was ruled to have gone forwards. The West ran their advantage in the series to 4–0. They had a 362–189 offensive yardage advantage, including 153–7 in rushing yardage.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Aftermath
The attendance of 15,446 in Houston was barely a quarter of the 60,000 that David Dixon had believed was attainable in New Orleans. Dixon feared that the incident would hinder New Orleans' plans to win an AFL franchise, either through expansion or through relocation of the Denver Broncos. There was speculation that Atlanta, a rival as a prospective pro football city, might be an indirect beneficiary, with Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. stating that what had happened in New Orleans would not have done so in his city.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Aftermath
The AFL showed no interest in retrying New Orleans as a venue, instead announcing Houston and Oakland as the hosts of the next two All-Star games. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, however, retained his interest in the city, and the franchise who would become known as the New Orleans Saints would be announced less then two years after the All-Star boycott, on 1 November 1966.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Aftermath
Reaction to the boycott was mixed in the days that followed it. A New Orleans sportswriter suggested that his city had been unfairly judged based on a handful of incidents, and implied that the players had come looking to cause trouble, and representatives of the city noted that the visiting Syracuse team had reported no problems; journalists from outside the city were more sympathetic to the African American's reaction, and noted that the Syracuse players had not mingled with the general populace to the same extent.


1965 American Football League All-Star game, Aftermath
In the years that followed, the boycott has been seen as a positive action that served as a catalyst for change in New Orleans. Butch Byrd, who had been among the Black players who still wanted to play the game during the meeting in the Roosevelt Hotel, later reflected, "It didn't dawn on me until I read accounts in various newspapers and you could see what an event this really was. We had to take a stand."


1965 American Football League Championship Game
The 1965 American Football League Championship Game was the sixth AFL championship game, played on December 26 at Balboa Stadium in San Diego, California.


1965 American Football League Championship Game
It matched the Western Division champion San Diego Chargers (9–2–3) and the Eastern Division champion Buffalo Bills (10–3–1) to decide the American Football League (AFL) champion for the 1965 season.


1965 American Football League Championship Game
The defending champion Bills entered the game as 6½ point underdogs; the Chargers had won the first regular season meeting on October 10 by a convincing 34–3 score, and tied the Thanksgiving rematch at twenty points each.


1965 American Football League Championship Game
In favorable 60 °F (16 °C) conditions on the day after Christmas, the Bills shut out the Chargers and repeated as champions, scoring two touchdowns in the second quarter, one on a punt return. They added three field goals in the second half to win 23–0. Of the ten AFL title games, this was the only shutout: the Chargers had advanced to five of the first six, but won only one, in 1963.


1965 American Football League Championship Game
Bills' quarterback Jack Kemp, the league's most valuable player, was named MVP of the game; he and Paul Maguire were among the five ex-Chargers on the Bills' roster that were previously released by San Diego head coach Sid Gillman.


1965 American Football League Championship Game
This was the last AFL Championship to end the season; the AFL–NFL merger agreement was made the following June, and the first Super Bowl followed the 1966 season.


1965 American Football League Championship Game, Officials
The AFL still had five game officials in 1965; the NFL added a sixth official this season, the line judge. The AFL went to six officials in 1966, and the seventh official, the side judge, was added in 1978.

1965 American Football League Championship Game, Players' shares
The winning Bills players were allocated $5,189 each, while the Chargers players received $3,447 each. This was twice as much as the previous year and about 70% of the players' shares for the NFL championship game.


1965 American Football League Championship Game, Players' shares
Because of the smaller venue, the attendance was nearly 10,000 lower than 1964, but the television money was increased with NBC.


1965 American Football League Championship Game, Aftermath
This game marked the first time the AFL Championship Game was televised in color, and the last time that a final pro football championship was decided in December, within the same calendar year as regular season games (the 1965 NFL Championship Game was played on January 2, 1966). The following season would conclude with the first Super Bowl played in January 1967.


1965 American Football League Championship Game, Aftermath
This is the last professional American football championship game to have been won by a team from Buffalo, New York, as well as the last of any major league team from the city. Indeed, the fortunes of both teams, and for that matter both cities, would go southward since then. The Bills would not appear in another championship game until Super Bowl XXV when the infamous Wide Right occurred, and would also proceed to lose the next three Super Bowls. The Chargers meanwhile would not appear in another championship until Super Bowl XXIX, which they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 49-26. San Diego and Buffalo currently have the longest and second-longest championship droughts respectively for any city that has at least two major sports franchises.


1965 American Football League draft

The season ended when the Buffalo Bills defeated the San Diego Chargers in the AFL Championship game. The next season, the AFL would join the NFL to form the AFL-NFL World Championship game, known today as the Super Bowl.


1965 American Football League season, Division Races
The AFL had 8 teams, grouped into two divisions. Each team would play a home-and-away game against the other 7 teams in the league for a total of 14 games, and the best team in the Eastern Division would play against the best in the Western Division in a championship game. If there was tie in the standings, a playoff would be held to determine the division winner.


1965 American Football League season, Division Races
There was little drama in either of the AFL's division races in 1965. The Bills led the Eastern Division from start to finish, ending five games ahead of the 5–8–1 Jets. In the Western Division, San Diego had three potential wins cancelled out when they were tied by Kansas City (10–10), Boston (13–13) and Buffalo (20–20), but their 9–2–3 finish (.818) was well ahead of Oakland's 8–5–1 record (.615).

1965 Arab League summit, Intelligence leak
According to Shlomo Gazit of Israeli intelligence, King Hassan II of Morocco invited Mossad and Shin Bet agents to bug the Casablanca hotel where the Arab League Summit would be held to record the conversations of the Arab leaders. This information was instrumental in Israel's major victory over Egypt, Jordan and Syria in the Six-Day War. According to Ronen Bergman, Mossad then supplied information leading to Mehdi Ben Barka's capture and assassination in October.


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa
The 1965 Argentina rugby union tour of South Africa and Rhodesia  was a series of sixteen matches played by the Argentina national team in May and June 1965 in Rhodesia and South Africa. Argentina played a total of 16 matches within two months of tour.


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa
That tour was meaningful and relevant for Argentine rugby due to the nickname Pumas (that has identified the national team since then) was born in South Africa, more precisely after the victory v. the Junior Springboks at Ellis Park, considered historical not only for Argentine rugby but for the sport in the country.

In 1959, the Junior Springboks had toured to Argentina, where they played a series of friendly matches. The South Africans were impressed by the rugby environment in the country and their visit paved the way for the trip of the Argentine team. As a result, in 1964 the South African Rugby Union sent an invitation to the UAR to send a representative team there. The SARU wanted a foreign team to play there with the purpose of spreading the practise of rugby in South Africa.

South African Danny Craven served as adviser for the team to prepare the tour, while the SA Union sent Izak van Heerden to help the Argentine Rugby Union to prepare the tour and collaborate with coaches Alberto Camardón (main coach) and Angel Guastella (second coach).

The national team played a series of preparatory games before the tour, facing local clubs and provincial representatives such as Universitario (LP) Obras Sanitarias, Alumni, Newman, Córdoba RU, Rosario RU, Duendes and Old Georgian

The first two matches in South Africa were extremely hard for the Argentine squad, in disadvantage on the physical power and the tough play by their rivals. Nevertheless, Argentine players vowed themselves to change the history from then on. The "key game" of the tour was the match v. Southern Universities won by Argentina 22–6. The local media entitled "Argentina shattered the craddle of South African rugby" after that match.

Nevertheless, Argentina's most relevant victory was against the Junior Springboks –the South African second national team– to whom they defeated 11–6 at Ellis Park. Argentina lineup for that match was Cazenave, Neri, Pascual, Rodríguez Jurado, España; Poggi, Etchegaray; Loyola, Silva, Scharenberg; Schmidt, Otaño; Foster, González del Solar y García Yáñez. The photo showing centre Marcelo Pascual diving to the rival ingoal became iconic for Argentine rugby.

The Pumas nickname is the result of an error made by Carl Kohler, a journalist for the Die Transvaler newspaper in South Africa, while following the team during the tour. He tried to devise a catchy nickname for the team similar to existing international team nicknames such as All Blacks, Springboks, and Wallabies.


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, The tour
Kohler was aware that the Americas had pumas, and as he was under pressure to submit his article, made a guess and called them "the Pumas", instead of the actual jaguar (which original name in Argentina is "yaguareté" but he refused to use that word as he was unable to utter it correctly).


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, The tour
The mistake stuck, and was eventually adopted by the Argentines themselves (although the UAR crest still depicts a jaguar).

The tour is considered the birth of the modern "Pumas" because of the national team had not achieved great results until then. The victory v the Junior Springboks was widely covered by the Argentine media and it is considered a turning point for the national team.

In an interview for the 50th anniversary of the tour, Héctor Silva stated:


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, Aftermath
We went with the intention of showing Argentine rugby outside the country, but the media repercussion was more than expected. The tour made Argentine rugby be recognised at international level. After that, some teams started to invite us to play. Oxford-Cambridge, Gazelles, Wales, Scotland, Ireland... came to the country and that allowed us to show all we had made during the tour.


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, Aftermath
About the first matches, Heriberto Handley said in the same interview:


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, Aftermath
We had never played that level, and they beat us up in the first matches. So we said, "know what? The story is over", and we started to play "hand-by-hand", and we beat them up.


1965 Argentina rugby union tour of Rhodesia and South Africa, Aftermath
Some reasons to explain the success were the unified group we were inside and outside the field. All of us wanted to play always, but the player who was in the bench became the n° 1 fan of the team (...) 'Willie' McCormick dislocated his shoulder four times. And he played as prop! The rivals tried to get him out of the field, but he fixed his shoulder by himself and said "I'm ok, I'm ok".


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance
1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, (also known as TC-48 Flight or The Cadets Flight) refers to the disappearance of an Argentine Air Force Douglas C-54G, carrying cadet graduates from the Military Aviation School, that disappeared between Howard Air Force Base in Panama and El Salvador International Airport on 3 November 1965. Last contact with the aircraft was 30 or 40 minutes after take-off, when the pilot reported a fire in one of the engines and notified the control tower of San José International Airport in Costa Rica that they intended to divert there. The aircraft never arrived and all passengers and crew are missing presumed dead. The disappearance is considered the greatest mystery of Argentine aviation.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident
The C-54 took off from El Palomar on October 31, 1965 to the Military Aviation School, the crew consisted of 9 members, to which were added 5 officers and 54 cadets, thus totaling 68 occupants. The training flight would take them to San Francisco on the United States. During the trip a second Douglas DC-4 was used, the TC-43 that carried the rest of the promotion. Both aircraft departed the following day, flew to the Cerro Moreno base (Chile) where after a technical stopover, the flight continued to Las Palmas base in Lima (Peru).


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident
There they spent the night and incorporated two cadets from the Peruvian Air Force, which were distributed in both planes. On November 2 they flew to Panama with a technical stopover in Guayaquil (Ecuador); and the next day, they had to complete the journey between the Howard Air Force Base and San Salvador International Airport (El Salvador).


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Aircraft
The aircraft involved was a Douglas C-54G four-engined transport aircraft of the Argentine Air Force, serialled TC-48 (msn 35983), first flown in 1945.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Aircraft
The aircraft was assigned to the 1st Air Brigade based in El Palomar and immediately began to be used for military personnel, officials and relatives relocation flights. From 20 October to 19 November 1964 she participated in the Final Instruction Trip of the XXX Class of cadets of the EAM, in the company of Douglas DC-4 'TC-44'.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Aircraft
During the 1964/65 Antarctic campaign she was part of the Antarctic Task Force (FATA). Among the missions in which the machine participated during that campaign, the cosmic measurements in flight stand out, by means of equipment mounted on board the device and different launches of supplies on the Esperanza Base. On February 5, TC-48 was part of the so-called Operation Matienzo, supporting the legendary C-47 TA-05, at the crossing to the white continent. On March 15, 1965, it would give the same support to the BS-03 Grumman HU-16B aircraft.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Aircraft
There are reports that indicate that in February 1965, the Douglas DC-4 TC-48 managed to fly over the Antarctic Circle. On May 7, 1965, by order of the Executive Power of the Nation, the Argentine Air Force dispatched two Douglas DC-4 aircraft (TC-48 and TC-42) to Santo Domingo carrying troops, medical supplies and medicine to attend to the victims of the revolutionary events registered in the Dominican Republic. On September 22, 1965, again supported the TA-05 in the crossing made from the continent to Antarctica.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident
Around 05:43 (-5 GMT) the TC-43 took off from Howard Air Force Base on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal Zone and at 05:49 the TC-48 did the same. Both aircraft would follow the same route to San Salvador International Airport, known as "Mike", having set a cruising altitude of 6,500 feet (2,145 m) and keeping sporadic radio contact for a distance of about 1,150 km that would take about 3:45 h of flight.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident, Communication lost
The last two transmissions from the aircraft were at 06:27 when the TC-48 reports to Panama tower confirming reached to position "Mike-5" without incident at an altitude of 6500 and heading for San Salvador. The "Mike-5" position is a navigational point close to Escudo de Veraguas island on the Panamanian caribbean Mosquitoes Gulf of the Bocas del Toro Province. The weather conditions for this first part of the route were not the best, forecast indicated severe turbulence, heavy rain, and visibility from very limited to zero.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident, Communication lost
At 06:36 the pilot reported fire on engine 3 and engine 4 stopped working, and will attempt to land or ditch the aircraft to the water, the signal was pickup by Tegucigalpa ATC and a Lacsa cargo plane pilot. The cargo plane pilot recommended to land in Limón International Airport or El Coco International Airport, now called Juan Santamaría International Airport, but the aircraft never arrived.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident, Communication lost
From this moment on, a large number of cross reports began to emerge, where schedules and data supposedly provided by the TC-48 pilots mismatch, like a third unconfirmed communication at 07:05 stating that the TC-48 reported that it was flying over Bocas del Toro, heading towards Puerto Limón runway, where the emergency had already been declared and firefighters and ambulances were being mobilized while waiting for the aircraft.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Accident, Reported sightings
In 2008, Teletica journalist Gerardo Zamora interviewed several witnesses that indicate the aircraft entered to Costa Rican territory by Sixaola, then was seen on Valle La Estrella, and a last witness indicate that saw survivors near Telire, all communities close to the Talamanca Range.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Passengers and crew
The aircraft was carrying nine Argentine crew members and 53 cadet passengers from Argentina, one cadet from Peru and five officers. Of the 59 passengers, 53 were Argentine cadets, five Argentine military officers and one Peruvian cadet.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Passengers and crew, Search
Initial searches for survivors were made by United States Navy until November 17, 1965 when attempts ceased. Relatives rejected the official version and continued to demand the search of the plane in the Costa Rican jungle, convinced that the aircraft could well be in some inaccessible place and not in the seabed.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Passengers and crew, Search
The suspicion gained even more force when it became known that some of the elements supposedly rescued and offered as evidence, which belonged to one of the disappeared cadets, had been entrusted by their owner to a colleague who was traveling on the other plane, who more He later handed them over to his superiors. In addition, at that point it was already certain that the aircraft were not in perfect condition and that the TC-48 was flying overweight. Relatives traveled to Central America to restart the search on their own.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Passengers and crew, Search
This is how groups of relatives of cadets and officers entered the Costa Rican jungle over and over again and made contact with the aborigines who lived around the Cordillera de Talamanca, looking for any clue that would allow them to find the whereabouts of their loved ones. However, they only encountered misleading versions, ladino characters, fear and reluctance of the natives, and insurmountable difficulties; ingredients of a mystery that seemed to grow with the passing of the months. Then they would inevitably return empty-handed.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Passengers and crew, Search
A total of 23 expeditions were made to the Talamanca in Costa Rica jungle, and more than 50 flights in planes and helicopters, the search was stopped in 1967. For the Civil Aviation of Costa Rica and for the relatives, the aircraft is somewhere in the jungle. In 2015 the Argentine Air Forces carried out four searches called Esperanza, both by land and by sea, which ended without results.


1965 Argentine Air Force C-54 disappearance, Investigation
After disappearance, an investigation carried out by the United States concluded that the aircraft fell to the sea between Panama and Costa Rica, 30 km from the coast. A de-classified video of a United States Navy (USN) helicopter marking the location of life-vests and objects in the sea, that later were shown to family members. Argentine Air Force authorities accepted the conclusions reached by the US experts

The book TC-48, the cadets plane, by Ricardo Becerra, a former Army lieutenant and brother of cadet Héctor, mentions thirteen witnesses who saw him fly low in the jungle.

In December 2018 the documentary film The Last Search was released in Córdoba, Argentina in local movie theaters, in which Cecilia Viberti, pilot Esteban Viberti's daughter, describes the searches made in Talamanca, Costa Rica and shares her thoughts about whether the aircraft is located in Costa Rica.


1965 Argentine Primera División
The 1965 Argentine Primera División was the 74th season of top-flight football in Argentina. The season began on April 18 and ended on December 19.


1965 Argentine Primera División
There were 18 teams in the tournament, who competed in a single double round-robin tournament. Boca Juniors won its 16th league title with no teams relegated.


1965 Argentine legislative election
The Argentine legislative elections of 1965 were held on 14 March. Voters chose their legislators with a turnout of 83%.


1965 Argentine legislative election, Background
The exiled populist leader, Juan Perón, continued to set the electoral agenda. The economy had recovered vigorously from the 1962-63 recession, and this only seemed to deprive voters and the media of a distraction away from speculation as to what steps Perón might take next to return to Argentina. This issue was highlighted by his failed December 1964 attempt to arrive in Buenos Aires - thwarted almost by accident. His still-sizable Peronist base, in turn, were divided between those who felt his return was critical to their political future, and those who sought alternatives.


1965 Argentine legislative election, Background
One of the most successful projects to these ends was the Popular Union (UP), a party founded within days of Perón's violent, September 1955 overthrow. Its founder, Juan Atilio Bramuglia, had been a close advisor of Perón's since the birth of the movement, in 1945. Bramuglia had been unable, however, to obtain support for the idea from Perón himself, who favored electoral alliances. Bramuglia died in 1962; but the failure of one such alliance in 1963 provided Popular Union supporters with their first realistic chance to represent the aging leader.


1965 Argentine legislative election, Background
The President, Dr. Arturo Illia, faced immediate pressure from the military and other anti-peronists to bar the Popular Union from fielding any candidates; but the moderate Illia refused. The adoption of the UP mantle by Steelworkers' leader Augusto Vandor defied Perón's call for open conflict with the Illia administration, moreover. The issue of the UP divided Vandor and his allies in the CGT from the CGT Secretary General, José Alonso, and his allies (including Andrés Framini, who had run on the UP ticket in 1962 and won, only to have the elections annulled). Vandor's very prominence made him the UP's paramount figure, and by extension, the first viable Peronist alternative to Perón in the movement's twenty years of existence.


1965 Argentine legislative election, Background
Despite fears this might trigger a coup, the elections proceeded on schedule. President Illia's centrist UCR did not benefit from economic growth, and they lost 4 seats. Former President Pedro Aramburu's anti-peronist UDELPA benefited even less from Perón's barely thwarted return, and they lost half their 14 seats. Former President Arturo Frondizi's MID, which had been barred from running by conservative opposition in 1963, picked up 16 seats in its first electoral test. This was significant because the MID had bested his former party, the UCRI (with which he had parted ways in 1963). The UCRI was left with but 11 of its 40 seats, the result of losing both Frondizi's and Perón's erstwhile support. Most of these seats went to the Popular Union, which gained 44. Its leader, Dr. Rodolfo Tecera del Franco, was elected Vice President of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.


1965 Argentine legislative election, Background
The 1965 elections were a notable accomplishment for President Illia, who had stopped military interference against them without it immediately costing him the presidency.

1965 Atlanta 500, Background
Atlanta International Raceway (now Atlanta Motor Speedway) is one of ten current intermediate tracks to hold NASCAR races; the others are Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Homestead Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway. However, at the time, only Charlotte and Darlington were built.


1965 Atlanta 500, Background
The layout at Atlanta International Speedway at the time was a four-turn traditional oval track that is 1.54 miles (2.48 km) long. The track's turns are banked at twenty-four degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, and the back stretch are banked at five.


1965 Atlanta 500, Race report
There were 44 American-born male drivers on the grid - without any foreigners or minorities trying to compete in the event. This race was the sixth Atlanta 500 to ever take place in the NASCAR Cup Series. However, the racing series would ultimately come to an end in 2011 to make room for a race at Kentucky Speedway. While the previous year's race was televised on CBS, this race was completely unbroadcast on television.


1965 Atlanta 500, Race report
Jim Conway would be the race's last-place finisher due to a clutch issue on lap 1 out of the regulation period of 334 laps. Marvin Panch managed to defeat Bobby Johns by two seconds in front of a screaming crowd of 50,700 people in his 1965 Ford Galaxie vehicle. However, it was relief driver and fellow Woods Brothers racer A.J. Foyt who takes the checkered flag in the No. 21 Ford, Panch simply received credit for the win by virtue of NASCAR rules and regulations.

1965 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1965 Atlantic hurricane season was the first to use the modern-day bounds for an Atlantic hurricane season, which are June 1 to November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. It was a slightly below average season, with 10 tropical cyclones developing and reaching tropical storm intensity. Four of the storms strengthened into hurricanes. One system reached major hurricane intensity – Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale.
