MIND-IN' OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS: SENATORS' FULL BLITZ

          Senators coach Jacques Martin has been asked to
     "personally sell some season tickets" because the team's
     "increasingly desperate campaign for survival has hit a wall
     of apathy" among small- and mid-sized businesses, according
     to Ken Warren of the OTTAWA CITIZEN.  After "a mere" 34 new
     season-ticket equivalents were sold yesterday, the "third
     consecutive slow day," Senators President Roy Mlakar was
     left "scratching his head" (OTTAWA CITIZEN, 2/15).  In
     Ottawa, Caroline Murray writes that the "aggressive drive"
     to convince more businesses and fans to buy or renew season
     tickets saw "little fluctuation" yesterday, as the number of
     renewals "inched up only" 1.4%, bringing the drive to 77.6%
     of its 90% goal for renewals.  The team now stands at 1,236
     full season-ticket equivalents, short of Senators Chair Rod
     Bryden's goal of 1,500 (OTTAWA SUN, 2/15).
