Ono of the first football squads to assemble for the 1928 season was that of the United States Military Academy. There's a reason and, if you must know that reason. take a look at the schedule and see who the future lieutenants are going to play this fall on the gridiron. Tough schedule is right, with games against Southern Methodist, Har- ward, Yale, Notre Dame, Nebraska and Southern California, to be played. And those West Pointers know they need plenty of practice to breeze through that gang of oppo- nents with any sort of success.
 Here are some glimpses of the initial workout. Coach "Biff" Jones Gas he is called in football season) is shown at the upper right talking to Bud" Sprague, Army captain. Below is a view of Sprague show ing his tackling ability. The young man with the pretty kicking form at the right is J. H. Murrell, who was one of the best backs in the east last fall. Below Murrell is another view of Captain Sprague in action. practicing drop-kicking. w. L. Nave, who may play quarterback regularly this year. is holding the ball.

BAT BATTAL|N0
 FIGHTS MONDAY
Meets Clever Milton Cohen Of New York in VelodrOme Bout

Hartford. Sept. 15-Bat Battalino, former king of the amateur boxing game and a sensational performer in the pro-ranks since turning profess sional, returns to the ring at the Hartford Velodrome Monday. night after a long lay-off.
 Bat. an expert swimmer, suffered an ear abscess early in the summer from water which had gathered in his ear while he was indulging in his favorite summer pastime and it sent him to the sidelines for more than ten weeks. .. ..
 As the weeks have rolled by with a popular priced. new-talent show each Monday night at the Nelo- drome, the cry of the fans has been: Give us Battalino." But Bat has been in enforced idleness.
 Ten days ago his doctor pro- nounced him o. k. once more and he resumed training and Monday night he will battle the clever Mill ton Cohen of New York in the Velo- drome ring.
 Battalino has fought in Hartford but once this summer and on that occasion he scored spectacular knockout over Jimmy Scully of Bos- ton who had been going at . good clip on the cards over East.
 Cohen will present different kind of opposition: he is much smart CT" than Scully and, although he is not a stiff puncher he is punching all the time and he does tire an op- ponent with his incessant drumfire to the body.
 Battalino will have to be at the top of his form to beat Cohen.
 Bat has lot of that intangible something, which sports writers call color" for want of better name and he is great magnet to the fans of Hartford and vicinity.
 Therefore. it is expected that 5000 will be on hand Monday night as he steps out against Cohen.
 There will be seven four-round bouts on this popular-priced card. The Battalino bout is down for eight rounds.
