NORWICH CITIZEN OFFERS
 PRACTICE FIELD TO VALE.
New London Graduate Will See That It is Graded for Football Team.

A New Haven despatch late Sunday evening Said
 Capt Fred Daly of the Yale football team has just visited Litchfield to look preliminary training of the football squad next September. Negotiations have been entered into for the use of the old golf course grounds north of the LitchfieId club and near the center of the village. The Litchfie1d club and the firemen's club of the village have offered the courtesies of their buildings in case the squad goes to Litchfield, and other inducements may be made.
 On the other hand, at Gales Ferry a citizen of Norwich has offered the use of field not far from the boating headquarters, and a Yale graduate at New London has offered to go to the expense and trouble of smoothing the field and fitting it for the autumn prac- tice. Gales Ferry also offers to the squad boating and swimming facilities not to be had at Litchfeld. On the question of air and weather Litchfield is regarded as much superior. Under these conditions the choice of the man. agers as between the two places is still temporarily undecided
 The earl CT plan of limiting the pre- liminary football squad to fifteen or twenty men to try out the new football rules has been changed and the whole of the squad of last years leading players remaining in the university will probably be called out at the mid dle of September. The best football players of the incoming freshmen class will probably be also called upon to join the squad about a week later. The combined squads will number between fifty and sixty men, besides coaches and managers.
 It is believed that the Norwich citi- zen is Charles H. Brown, who owns some fine property at the Ferry and whose hospitality has been extended to many in past years.
