This piece is a call to action to bring the behavior of fans at fútbol matches in line with the peaceful scenes in other sports

One of the standout performers of the 1951 Pan-American Games was Elsa Irigoyen, who later served a crucial role in the diffusion of female sports in the Peronist government.

Irigoyen is also the President of the Ateneo Deportivo Femenino. Good biographical piece. (coverage of the bocce ball tournament hosted by the Ateneo Evita is seen on page 30 Jan 15, 1953)

Mundo Deportivo, like El Gráfico, does a fairly good job of covering female athletes...perhaps a bit better.

Odd occurrence of images celebrating Juan Perón's love for sports in the middle of the military junta under Videla
