They say it has always been the same way in every game with the Tigers and if the Tigers are losing they always start an argument which results in a fight. so they are. off any Greeneville team for life. They challenge any team in Eastern Connecticut averaging 120 pounds that wants to play football D. Shea of 52 Mt. Pleasant street is the manager and arrangements can be made through him.
