lions fioundering before the Phila-
delphia power attack and brfck-wail

Bob Solinger proved to be the star
of the evening for the Falcons, rack
ing up two of his teams scores, the
first in the opener and the other in
the third heat, while Jimmy Wilson,
a Lion of last year; Joe Ciuman,
Fred Kovalchuk and AL Shewchuk
added the other Philadelphia goals.
