Any time someone goes to watch or play sports at UCLA they will know the name of Bruins alumnus Jackie Robinson.

The Los Angeles university that Robinson attended from 1939 to 1941 has named its vast athletic complex the Jackie Robinson Athletic and Recreation Complex.

The complex has 22 separate facilities, including the Pauley Pavilion basketball arena.

Robinson’s iconic No. 42 — the jersey number he wore with the Brooklyn Dodgers in breaking baseball’s color line in 1947 — will be displayed at each facility entrance.

Also, No. 42 will not be worn by another Bruin in any sport except for the three athletes currently wearing it.

Major League Baseball retired No. 42 across the board in 1997.

While Robinson’s professional exploits are well documented, less is known of his brilliant college career.

After two years at Pasadena Junior College in suburban Los Angeles, Robinson enrolled at UCLA in the fall of 1939, becoming the school’s first four-sport letter winner.

At UCLA, he had two seasons of football, two seasons of basketball, one season of baseball and one season of track and field.

On the 1939 football team, he had three black teammates — Ray Bartlett, Woody Strode and Kenny Washington.

Coincidentally, in 1946, Strode and Washington became the first African-Americans to play in the NFL.

During the 1940 football season, Robinson led the Bruins in rushing, 383 yards, and passing yards, 444.

During the 1939-40 and 1940-41 basketball seasons, he was the Pacific Coast Conference, now Pac-12, leading scorer.

In track, a sport his family excelled in, he won the 1940 NCAA long jump with a leap of 24-10¼.

Robinson’s older brother, Mack, was a silver medalist in the 200-meter sprint at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Mack Robinson finished 0.04 seconds behind gold medalist Jesse Owens.

Oddly, baseball was Jackie Robinson’s worst sport at UCLA. In one season at the diamond, he hit under .200, but did steal home twice.

Robinson’s association with No. 42 began in Brooklyn.

He was No. 18 for UCLA basketball and No. 28 in football.

Robinson’s widow, Rachel Robinson, who Jackie met while at UCLA, spoke at the university’s official naming ceremonies Nov. 21, which also celebrated the 75th anniversary of Robinson’s arrival at UCLA.

“UCLA was where our lives together began, and where many of our values and goals were established,” Mrs. Robinson said.
