Vets Adopt New Seating Plan to Accommodate
 Local Fight Fans

To facilitate the handling of fight fans who attend the New Years Eve smoker of the American Legion in the Vet arena at A. B. Hall, every seat Iias been reserved, it was announced today. This, it was said, will make it possible for the fans to buy seats in any part of the house at the downtown ticket offices and avoid the usual con- gestion around the office at the arena.
 Tickets can be purchased there as in the past, but there has been some complaint about difficulty ex- perienced by ticket holders in reaching the downstairs entrance and it is believed this will be avoided under the new spstem.
 Tickets, which were on sale today, can be obtained at three business houses-Juneau Drug Company, Alaskan Hotel and the Pioneer Pool Room Choice ringside seats were being gobbled up quickly.
 All of the fighters were going through the final training stages today. Butler, who fights Joe Manila in the main bout, has vir- tually recovered from a rib in jury which slowed him down in his recent fight with Collier. He was in fine form and his packers have it doped out he will win early in the bout by a knockout.
