Merchant Mariners Pinned to Spoil MaryLands Clean SIat
Old Liners Also Keyed
To Turn Same Trick
On Visiting Eleven

Loaded 10 the RQnWaleS with vet
eran talent, boarding party Of
young salts from Kings Point Mer-
chant Marine Academy will try to
scuttle Maryland's undefeated rec
ord tonight at at College Park
in a pigskin skirmish bearing the
earmarks of a top flight attraction.
Victor over Rensselaer, Poly and
Ursinus, the academy eleven will
be slight favorite to make it three
in row, but Maryland Is prepared
to make the Mariners pull a heavy
oar. Enough gold braid to stock
f1ve-and-dime counter will be on
deck tonight, which means Kings
Point will try harder than usual.
Marylands hopes were jolted to-
day by news that triple-threat Bob
Polling may sit this one out because
of bruised hip. Spearhead of the
attack against Richmond, Polling
scored touchdown in that game
and was expected to shoulder
large part of the burden tonight,
but if he plays at all he'll be used
sparingly in substitute role.
George Barnes and Les Smith likely
will alternate in the position, al
though the starter has not been
named.
Young Coaches Matching Wits.
1t will be an interesting game
from the strategical viewpoint with
two up and coming young coaches
matching wits. 1t. G.g) Earl
Brown, who coached at Dartmouth
last year and led the Indians to
six victories in seven games, will
use a straight T formation against
Paul Bryant's single wing, which
begins from the T. Both are rated
highly and can be counted on for
a couple of slick tricks
Kings Point will rely on such
veterans as Bob Pfohl, Purdue reg
ular last year; Jack Corbisiero, who
began at Notre Dame before trans
ferring to the Merchant Marine;
Charley Fox, another Boilermaker;
Wilbur Stein of Georgia Tech and
Bill Mccarthy from st. Francis
Military Academy. Not all are
listed in the starting lineup be-
cause Brown, an all-America end
at Notre Dame in his playing days
still clings to the Rockne strategy
of starting reserves whenever pos
sible and inserting his best men
after the opposition has been tested
thoroughly.
The Mariners apparently are at
home on land, sea or in the mud
They captured thriller from RPI
27-19, then slogged through the
mud to a 1910 triumph over Ur-
sinus. In the first game Browns
men displayed a versat tile, all
around offense, and in the second
they relied on sheer power. That's
the tipoff on the kind of team the
Terps must beat.
Maryland Promises Surprise.
But Maryland, drilling behind
locked gates all week, has a surprise
or two tucked away to meet the
threat. In Quarterback Vic Turyn
and Fullback Harry Bonk Maryland
has couple of youngsters capable
of causing trouble in any situation.
Bonk reached pay dirt twice against
Richmond last week and If he gets
loose tonight the Mariners may find
themselves on the rocks. Turyn has
come along slowly, but Bryant con-
siders him cool field general who
can be meddlesome himself with
ball under his arm.
The issue may be decided in the
line and If so Maryland should hold
its own. The Terp forwards virtually
were immovable in previous games
and while neither Guilford nor
Richmond presented much of a test
Bryant is satisfied that his boys
will give good account of them
selves.
Admiral Emory S. Land head of
the Maritime Service: Capt. Giles C.
Stedman, commandant of the Mer-
chant Marine Academy, and Steve
Hensel, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, are among the high ranking
naval officers and Government
officials expected to witness the
game A full company of midship-
men from Kings Point also will be
in the stands.
