Seats Taken For Ice Bowl SEATS TIES FOR ICE BOWL KING ISLAND (via Teller Nome), Alaska. Dec. 21.— (AP)- Ice Bowl sponsors had something in common with Pasadena's Rose Bowl today. King Island alumni already have subscribed for every seat in the Ice Coliseum and Father Bernard Hubbard, S. J„ said the game would be a sellout, only there will be no admission charged. "I heartily sympathize with the Rose Bowl management's problems in finding ample seats for the general public, in view of the fact that the California alumni already spoke for all seats," Father Hubbard said. It seems everybody on the island, all 150 of them, took up their op tions on seats, and outsiders will have extreme difficulty in getting a chance to see the game between the two picked Eskimo football teams, chiefly because of transportation difficulties. There aren't any more boats running to King Islana this winter. The Ice Coliseum is an evanescent proposition anyway. If the wind blows away all the ice on tl village side of the island, thei won't be any playing rield, and tl crowd will have to' go around on tl other side for the epic struggle.
