Lions Getting Tough

Washington's ice hockes Lions

The slogan is: Get tough! And
it comes out of last nights ga game

lost their second decision in a row
when they were taken over by the
Falcons, but not before they had
staged one of the widest hockey
games of the season.
The Lions learned a sweet lesson
last night. The Falcons bickered
and fought at every turn, some
times with the Lions and again
with Referee Lou Murzin, who was
punched by Philadelphia Joe Des-
son on one occasion.
The Washingtons started fighting
back in self-defense and unques-

hight into tomorrow nights set-to

Even the normally peaceful Red
vers Mackenzie, Falcon coach, was
threatened with election last night.
