During 1928 the magazine Mundo Uruguayo featured these lovely art deco inspired covers showing players who had been a part of the Olympic gold medal squad. 

Juan Martinez is included (most records show him as Eduardo Martinez)- Martinez was known as the 23rd Olympian- he was sailing as a replacement for Andrade. Andrade however, relented from his earlier refusal to travel and displaced Martinez from the squad.

Of the players pictured Nasazzi, Gestido, Campolo,  Píriz and Borjas played in either the final or the replay.

Canavesi's contribution is well known. 

Adhemar Canavesi

Remarkably for a Uruguayan player in the 1920s, only 1 of Adhemar Canavesi's 9 international appearances came against Argentina.Canavesi made his debut against Paraguay in 1925 when he was playing his club football for Bella Vista.A member of the 1927 South American Championship squad, Canavesi played in 2 matches in the tournament, the 4-0 win over hosts Peru and the 3-2 loss to Argentina in the penultimate match that decided the outcome of the tournament. In the 85th minute Canavesi scored an own goal that proved to be Argentina's winner.
Canavesi moved to Penarol  in 1928.
His next taste of tournament football came at the 1928 Olympics at Amsterdam. Canavesi was called up for the semi final clash with Italy, replacing  Jose Nasazzi. This, his 9th international, transpired to be his last. 
Tradition has it that, when Uruguay set out to play the final against Argentina on June 10th, that  Canavesi refused to board the coach. He was convinced that his presence, even if he wasn't playing, would be bad luck for Uruguay. He stayed away from the stadium. Petrone put Uruguay ahead on 20 minutes. Nola Ferreira equalised after 50 minutes. A replay.
3 days later, the same stadium, the same referee. The attendance, officially  28.113, just 140 less than for the first match. 1 change in the Argentina line up. 5 changes to the Uruguay team. Still no Canavesi. Scarone smashed in the winner in the 73rd minute- Uruguay 2, Argentina 1. Adhemar Canavesi was an Olympic Gold Medalist.
