Los dirigentes de nuestro fútbol tienen mucha culpa de que hayamos perdido el camp.mundial
Unlike the 1928 Olympics, where reasons were largely external, this loss to Uruguay looks inward at poor preparation and the role (for worse) of soccer officials. Negative portrayal of club officials as well-to-do men who become rich off soccer.
Un triunfal recibimiento se tributó a los jugadores olímpicos argentinos

Previously in the same issue, River tries to use the 'animal' insult as a badge of pride (see page 4). Here it acknowledges that 'futbol moderno', whether people like it or not, is the reality of Argentine soccer embodied in Estudiantes.
Como Argentinos ofendidos…
The magazine disagress with the opinion of Estudiantes executives, instead asking Argentines to show that they were offended. The 'student-teacher' relationship should not be continued.

River y Troilo son una sola cosa
Anibal Troilo appears frequently in the magazine, clearly a supporter of River. Here is one example of the deep ties between a musician largely viewed as a national icon, and his favorite soccer team. The celebratory mood also stemmed from River's…
Lo de siempre
Just as its victories represent Argentina in international tournaments, River's loss to Nacional reflects national disillusionment as it represents the country. More disappointment will come at the 1966 World Cup a month later.
Otra hazaña para la historia (y para el fútbol argentino también)
