At the rate he is g he may eventually outstrip them all as the most durable cham- pion. At 36, he is still tops in his field— the only 10-goal player in the world Thirteen times he has been rated theoretically perfect by being given the 10-goal handicap. 'Way back in 1922 he earned his first 10-goal rating after his team had brought the Westchester cup back from England, His rating was dropped to nine in 1934 after a series of serious acci- dents on the polo field forced him to the sidelines. It was the begin- ning of the end of the most spec- tacular carcer in the history of the sport—or so some of the experts thought as they viewed his demo- tion. But Tommy Hitchcock fool- ed them all. Throughout the winter of 1935 Hitchcock whipped himself into magnificent shape and came back to the polo field as good as ever. His answer to the experts was step- ping out with a team not highly favored and romping off with the National Open championship.

Hitchcock inspired Whitney and Bostwick to play better polo than they knew him. Under his fiery leadership they became great play- jers. But, through it all, it was Hitchcock who rose to the heights when disaster seemed imminent, and who pushed over the goal that tied the score at 10-all and forced Templeton into an extra period. In the sudden-death chukker, his Greentree team rode with a fury which only Hitchcock could inspire| and swept the winning goal be-' tween the pos They were a tired group of athletes when they climb-/ ed down from théir ponies, but the least tired of all appeared to be the 36-year-old veteran—Hitchcock. Hitchcock comes by his love of poio naturally. His father was a great polo player and his mother did more to encourage youngsters to play the game than any other one person in-the world. Hunt racing was her faverit and she died a couple of years ago 67, after having been thrown 11' m a jumper HE STARTED YOUNG Hitchcock began play:ng poio! when he was 13. At Narragansett Pier in 1916 he took part in his first important tournament. His team that year won the junior and senior championships. | He was a 17-year-old student at Harvard when adventure beckoned | and he left college to enlist in the French air service. He was shot down behind the German lines and, On the train which was transporting him to a prison camp he stole a road map! from a guard, dived through a win- dow, and escaped. Slowly he made| his way into Switzerland, hiding by| day and traveling by night. His food consisted largely of green veg- etables and whatever he could pil- fer. As the result of his war ex- periences his health for a time was not good. In spite of his condition it was| next to impossible to keep him out | of the saddle and off the polo field. By 1920 he was again playing the game—on the Riviera. The follow- | ing year he played alongside of! the great Devereux Milburn, Wat- son Webb and Louis Stoddard in| the international matches with England. Hitchcock’s great playing' was instrumental in bringing the cup back to the United States. In| 1924 he led a team in the Olympic Games.
