Twelve Little Indians Take Ottawa By Storm During Peaceful Foray
(Ottawa Evening-Citizen) OTTAWA, Ont.— Future Canadian historians (ugh) may choose to ignore the event, but s’matter of fact, this Nation’s Capital (ugh) was stormed successfully last week by a band of real, live Indian Braves.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.— Hal Jackson, the hockey linesman and former defenseman, who has a new son, is fathering a new idea, too. Jackson has seen the value of salesmanship in the meat business and he’s convinced that merchandising is just as important in hockey. “Like any other product, the game has to be sold,” Jackson explains, “and the best market is among the women and children.” Jackson’s plan, which he would like to see tried not only in Indiana polis but throughout hockey’s minor leagues, would be to have the players themselves go out as salesmen. “Let it be written in their contracts,” Jackson suggests. “Certainly hockey players have plenty of spare time.
