Prior to the
1928 Olympics, Luis F. Weihmüller was summoned to join the Argentinian squad that had a number of players who would star two years later in the
1930 World Cup played in
Uruguay. The strange thing was that, in those years, managers were not allowed in the rules to replace a player with another. Anyway, as a member of that squad, Weihmüller won a silver medal. In the Argentine squad, there were five other players from
Sportivo Palermo, which was Weihmüller's current team:
Fernando Paternoster,
Adolfo Zumelzu,
Ludovico Bidoglio, Herman, and
Juan Evaristo. ==References==
