| description | My objective in this paper is to fill out one aspect of the role of sport in Indonesian social history by examining the second and third National Games (Pekan Olahraga Nasional -- PON), one held in 1951 in Jakarta and the other in 1953 in Medan.The primary sources used in this study are the commemorative books produced for each of these Games, recording the main activities associated with them.
