Douglas Clayland Turnbull, Jr. (1904 – 1996) was an American lacrosse player. He was the first player, and remains one of only six, to have been named to the USILA All-America first team all four years of his college career. Turnbull played college lacrosse and football at Johns Hopkins University. In 1923, he led the nation in placekicking. He was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1962.
Turnbull was born on July 23, 1904 in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, from which he graduated in 1921. While there, he played football, basketball, and lacrosse, and as a senior he captained the lacrosse team. During his time at Poly, his lacrosse teams defeated cross-town rival Baltimore City College three out of four times and also beat collegiate teams of Maryland and Penn.
Doug Turnbull attended college at Johns Hopkins University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering in 1924. During the following year he continued postgraduate studies in engineering, mathematics, and thermodynamics. Turnbull was a two-time president of the Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society in 1924 and 1925.
As an undergraduate, Turnbull became the first college lacrosse player named to the USILA All-America first team all four years of his collegiate career, a feat that has been matched only five times since (by Everett Smith, Frank Urso, Del Dressell, Jason Coffman, and Mikey Powell). He played every lacrosse position with the exception of goalkeeper. He played on the Hopkins football team as a left halfback, and in 1923, led the nation in placekicking. That season, he made six field goals and fifteen extra points. Head football coach Ray Van Orman named Turnbull to his All-Time Hopkins Football Team, and lacrosse coach Bill Schmeisser named him to his Honor Roll of Hopkins Lacrosse Tradition. Turnbull was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1962. He was inducted into the charter class of the Johns Hopkins Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994.
