Racing en busca de la triple corona
Right after winning their second consecutive title, Racing suggests that a third straight title--which no team had accomplished yet--was within reach (Rácing will accomplish the feat in 1951).
Los privilegiados del justicialismo
This is one example of several "ads" that ran in the magazine in the latter part of 1950 that highlighted various accomplishments by the Peronist state. More than a conventional ad, these informational pieces offered a more direct form of propaganda.
Perón dijo: "Es maravilloso"; A la cabeza de los estadios
It is never clear why Perón did not attend the opening match at the new stadium named after him, but he toured a few days prior. The article mentions that the President would be pleased to know that a special section of the stadium is reserved for…
Y el gran estadio tuvo su corazón…81 minutos para gritar un gol
The home fans waited until the end of the game, in a poorly played match, but finally enjoyed a winning goal by Simes.
Various articles from a special issue of Racing

"Racing ofrenda sus trofeos a quienes impulsan el deporte"
By dedicating their trophies to Juan Perón, Eva Perón, and Ramón Cereijo, Rácing honors their commitment to sports. This is a ceremonial gesture and shows how much Racing club officials benefited from close ties to the government.
¡Buen viaje, doctor…!
As opposed to late 1946, when scant mention was made of Ramón Cereijo's membership to Rácing, every news about the Housing Minister is an opportunity in 1950 to wish him good luck. His role in securing the funds for the new stadium linked Rácing to…

This advertisement contrasts the social disorder before Perón, and the calm he has brought to Argentina. A pure propaganda piece in Racing.
¡El público se hacía cruces!
Perhaps scheduled to facilitate the signing of Boyé, Rácing plays in Italty against Genoa.

Apoyo incondicional
Just as the President and First Lady offer their unconditional support for sports, so too does Rácing offer a similar support to the First Couple. This article was published to commemorate the "Campeonato 'Evita'."
