Due to the effects of The Great Depression and the cost of travel to the United States, only 3 Field Hockey teams ended up competing at the Olympics: India, Japan and the hosts, the USA. The event then took place as a short group stage competition, with each team playing each opponent once. To finance their travel, the Indian team played exhibition matches at every stop on their long journey by sea to Los Angeles. Once there, none of the teams even came close to the ability of the Indians, as Japan were beaten 11-1 and America were thrashed 24–1 on 11 August 1932, in the deciding game. The team even rotated the entire squad between games just so that all the players would get a medal. Dickie (Richard) Carr competed in both Field Hockey and the 4 × 100 m events.
