Polling and Turyn Seen Needed
ToMuke Old Line Quint Click

Maryland's basket ball team, which
surprisingly lost two of its three
preholiday games, apparently will
have to await the getting into trim
of Vic Turyn and Bill Polling, foot
ball backs, who are said to be red
hot tossers.
Both played little in the first
two games but Polling will take at
least two weeks more to reach his
peak, and Turyn will require longer
because of a shoulder injury that
still needs treatment. In fact, it's
no certainty that he will be able to
go all out at anytime during the
season. 3 a -0
Ragged in Two Defeats.
The Old Liners looked fairly
smooth in the opener in defeating
Marine Corps Institute of Wash

both offense and attack, particu-
larly in passing. in bowling to Mar
shall College, 50-43, and to the
Quantico Marines, 50-47. Both were
good outfits but poor ball handling
and lack of defensive coordination
doubtless kept Maryland from win
ming both battles.
Jack Flynn, only letterman and
lone leftover from last season, and
Bob Fetters and Joe Baumann, back
after more than three years in the
service, have been the most consist

Lubbock Is Suspended
As the Lions Revamp

Washington's hockey Lions are
going to have a punch-or else,
Coach Make Bennett indicated last
night as he suspended Winger Nestor
Lubbock for Indifferent play and
revamped the lineup for tonight's
match with the Baltimore Clippers
at Baltimore.
Lubbock, Bennett announced, will
sit on the bench until further notice
for failure to show his best playing
form. The little speed merchant
was one of the Eastern Leagues
hottest scorers and finest skaters
with the second-place Baltimore
Blades a year ago but has been in
and out this season.
Owner Mike Ullne and Bennett
yesterday were reported negotiating
with the Toronto Maple Leafs and
Montreal Les Canadiens of the Ma
tional Hockey League in an effort
to get some direly needed players
More luck Is expected, however
from negotionations with the Pitts
burgh Hornets, Cleveland Barons
and st. Louis Flyers of the American
League.
Bennett last night predicted that
several new faces will appear in the
lineup when they return to the
home pond against the New York
RoVers FRIDAY night, The almost
complete absence of a scoring punch
indicates emphasis will be placed
on forwards.
The Lions will workout daily dur
ing the holidays, excepting Christ
mas Day, to improve the offense.
