1936 Berlin Summer Games
4066 Athletes, 49 Countries, 129 Events

The 32 athletes in Berlin from the Ivy League had the opportunity to watch track great Jesse Owens win four gold medals (long jump, 100meters, 200meters, and 4x100meter relay). The feeling of the Olympic spirit had to be savored, for it would be another 12 years before another Games took place due to World War II.

Leaguers returned in force for the 1936 men's field hockey tournament. The United States team had five athletes from Princeton and three from Penn. All they could muster, however, was a seventhplace finish. Harvard rowers forming the United States four suffered a similar fate, as they were unable to bring home a medal.

Three from the Ancient Eight did come home with a medal; two were swimmers. Al Van de Weghe (Princeton '40) won silver in the 100meter backstroke. John Macionis (Yale '38) was part of the second place United States 4x200meter freestyle relay team.

Fritz Pollard, Jr. (Brown '37) won the bronze medal in the 110meter hurdles while attending the University of North Dakota, where he played football and boxed in addition to running track. He attended Brown early in his undergraduate career. Pollard, son of legendary Brown footballer Fritz Pollard, Sr., later became director of the U.S. State Department's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity.

In the Olympic architecture competition conceived by IOC President French baron Pierre de Coubertin for the 1912 Stockholm Games John Russel Pope won a silver medal for his design of Yale's Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
