Oliver Wallop, was a member of the first group of Wyoming players in the late 1800's. A former U.S. Senator from Wyoming, Malcolm was Captain of the Yale University team which won an intercollegiate title.

Two of Malcolm's sons and a daughter, who are actually 4th generation players, played polo in Hig Horn. Game announcer, Sam Morton, was quick to add that there were three other families in attandance who also have 4th generation players; the MacCartys', the Johnstons' and the Beals'.

Skey Johnston's grandson, Will, played in the earlier consolation match. Big Horn native, Martin MacCarty, who manages Johnston's Flying H Ranch, now plays with his family's 4th generation players, son Ford and nephews Will and Ty. Kelly and Chris Beal from Texas are playing this summer in Wyoming with their family's 4th generation player, daughter K.C.
