Winston Frederick Churchill Guest

Winston Frederick Churchill Guest (1906 to 1982) was an Anglo-American polo champion and a member of the Guest family of Britain. He was the son of the British politician Frederick Guest and Amy Phipps, the daughter of the American businessman Henry Phipps Jr., and a first cousin once removed of Prime Minister Winston Churchill; his brother Raymond R. Guest later served as United States Ambassador to Ireland. He graduated from Yale University in 1927 and took a law degree from Columbia University in 1942. In polo he was a member of the international team of the United States that won the International Polo Cup in 1930, 1936 and 1939, and he was the only player in the history of the Indoor Polo Association to hold the top rating of ten goals. In 1934, as the highest rated indoor player, he was elected head of that association. That year he also married Helena Woolworth McCann, a granddaughter of F. W. Woolworth.
