off guard.

Pee Wees in a game of football on
October 17. The Freshmen took
the Cubs 12-0. They are expected
to play again October 24.

GUESS WHO? ? ?
There have been three English
kings who had the same name as
his first. ,
His last name is one of the
greatest in all literary history and
the oldest in- the literary history
of Europe. An author of this same
name wrote two of the world’s su-
preme epics.
The first part of his last name
is defined as one’s dwelling place.
If you go by the color of his eyes
he is the jealous type.
If you guess who this person is,
see one of the members of the
Tigers Tale staff for your reward.
