Original Toronto Star caption: Stainless-steel statue unveiled yesterday outside the newly opened Football Hall of Fame in Hamilton is titled Touchdown and represents football in general. But Hamilton Mayor Vic Copps (wearing helmet) probably envisions it as a Tiger-Cat scoring the winning touchdown in Sunday's Grey Cup game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Ivor Wynne Stadium. The hall contains busts of former greats, video tapes of past Grey Cup games and electronic answers machine.
