only 150.

FAA Reveals Pilot
Had Rating Revoked
WASHINGTON UP) The
Federal Aviation Agency said
yesterday that last July 15 it
issued an order revoking the
airline pilot rating of the pilot
of the Arctic-Pacific airliner
'which crashed at Toledo. Ohio,
Saturday.
The FAA order was stayed,
however, by the appeal of the
pilot, Donald L. J. Chesher, to
the Civil Aeronautics Board. He
was able to continue flying
pending action on the appeal.
Chesher was one of 22 per
sons killed -in the Toledo crash.
There were 48 persons aboard
Cal Poly's chartered plane.
FAA files showed that July
1 the agency notified Chesher
that it was revoking his rating
as of July 15 for a series of vio
lations of regulations.
An informal hearing had
been held May 23. The FAA
told the pilot later it had de
termined he had violated the
regulations and demonstrated a
lack of care, responsibility and
judgment required of an air
line pilot.

Soccer, not baseball or football, is king in Argentina, the

“Soccer is THE sport/’ Astiz said yesterday and Van
Rafelghem agrees. “I think its even bigger than football
or baseball in America,” he said. ★ ★ ★
"There's no olher major sport r
to compete with soccer in Ar- s

Both Van Rafelghem and Astiz |
make their home in Buenos Aires, |
one of the hotbeds of South I
American soccer. ?
The children in Argentina start ?
playing soccer in grade school,'
"but participation, not ability is
emphasized,” Astiz said.
"In Argentina there are soc- ;
cer leagues organize!! much t
like the minor league system of •.
American baseball," he said, j
"There are eight divisions, with ?
the first division comparative >
to the major leagues in the {
United States." t
Astiz said that all pro clubs
own teams in the eight divisions,
with the eighth, or lowest divis
ion, made up of 14-year-olds.
He explained that a player of
ficially gets a contract from a
pro team when he reaches the
third division. If he plays in any
division below the third he’s con
sidered an amateur.
The drawing power of soccer
in South American countries is
lerriffic. An ordinary game be
tween first division profession
als will draw 50,000 spectators
in Argentina, with important
games drawing up to 120,000.

Rio de Janeiro, possibly the larg

150,000 for international soccer
games.
Astiz said that there is no an
nual “world series of soccer” be
cause there are too many good
teams in the countries of Europe,
Asia, and South America.
But he said there is a world
championship played every four
years. The last was held in 1958,
when Brazil won the title.
