(More results, page D4) the only player to score touchdowns in three consecutive Grey Cup games, 1945-47. Pajaczkowski, a native of Verdun, was selected the league's all-star guard four consecutive seasons in the early 1960s with the Calgary Stamped-ers. The six-foot-three, 230-pound-er was considered short on finesse but long on desire, strength and brute ability. Hundreds of Canadians sent letters to McQuarters a native of Tulsa, who starred in the Saskatchewan Roughriders' only Grey Cup victory in 1966 during his bid to overcome the loss of his left eye in a home workshop accident. In August 1971, 14 weeks after the accident, McQuarters returned to action.

A total of 142 players and builders have been named to the Hall since charter members were inducted in June, 1963. Induction ceremonies for Sazio, Copeland, Pajaczkowski and McQuarters will be held Sept. 17 and the four will be honored during halftime of the Ticats' game against the Ottawa Rough Riders on Sept. 18 at Ivor Wynne HAMILTON (CP) Ralph Sazio, who started as a player in the CFL and eventually guided the Toronto Argonauts to the Grey Cup as their president, was one of four inductees to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame on Monday. Former all-star running back Royal Copeland, lineman Tony Pajaczkowski and Ed McQuarters, once a feared rusher who made a comeback after a serious eye injury, were named as the 1988 inductees.

Sazio, a native of New Jersey, has spent almost four decades in Canadian football, beginning as a tackle an assistant coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He went on to coach three Ticats' teams to Grey Cup victories, rising to club president in 1972. In 1981 he became president of the rival Argonauts and helped guide the team to its first Grey Cup in 31 years in 1983. Copeland, who wore number 77 for the Argonauts, was known along with teammate Joe Krol as one of the flamboyant Gold Dust Twins. Copeland, now 63, a native of North Bay, Ont, who lives in California, starred at both halfback and defensive back and is can't help us this year, maybe they can help us down the road.

"We are not looking to hurt the high school or midget programs. They're our farm system. We won't take a kid who still can play either midget or high school unless we have his coach's approval. "But there's a lot of good kids around. The numbers are there.

There's only the two universities. And we think we'll have a lot of good prospects on hand when camp opens." Among the newcomers Benoit is high on are: quarterbacks Mike Pirie, of Laurentian, and Chris Kennedy, of St. Pius; running back Tony Greco, of Glebe and linebacker David Gleeson, of Almonte. Benoit would also like to have Almonte's Kevin Hickey, a slot-back, in camp but he feels Hickey is probably headed to university in either the U.S. or Canada.

"(Hickey) will steal the show Thursday night," said Benoit. The Sooners also announced they will honor CFRA-CFMO president Terry Kielty in early September as the seventh recipient of a special award in recognition of outstanding support of the team. "We're straying away a bit in the award in that we've never given it to someone who wasn't directly involved with the team," said Hamilton. "But Terry's helped us a lot since the start, directing people to get involved. He's also made sure the station helped keep us front and centre over the years." As well, the Sooners Alumni, formed with president Willie Dunn last year, announced a couple of key events for the 1988 season.

The association, made up of former players, management, fans and supporters, will play host to their first annual golf tournament Aug. 19 as well as their second annual dance Nov. 18. With a history dating back to 1961 and attempting to rebound from the first sub-. 500 season in club history, the Sooners already have in place all the motivation they might need in 1988.

However, the Sooners added extra incentive Monday when it was announced they would play host to the Armadale Cup, emblematic of junior football supremacy in Canada, should the club qualify for the national championship. To do so, the Sooners must first win the Ontario Football Conference something they've achieved eight of the last 13 seasons and then defeat the Que-. bee Junior League champions. The Sooners would then host the Western Canadian champions Nov. 12 at Lansdowne Park.

But a sign of the Sooners optimism starts right at the top with president Bruce Hamilton. Said Hamilton: "We've already booked Lansdowne Park." The thinking of Sooners rookie head coach Denis Benoit is not much different. "We've been going over the films and we think we have some excellent players returning," said Benoit, Monday at a press conference at the Ottawa-Nepean Canadians Sports Club to announce plans for 1988. "We've already had an excellent meeting with the veterans. We explained what we want to do.

There was a lot of feedback from both sides. We both said our piece. "The coaching staff has made a commitment to a winning season and we're not here to fool around. If the players want to make the same commitment, then there's no problem. There a good chance they'll be with us." The Sooners have 40-odd veter- ans eligible to return for the '88 season when the main training camp opens Aug.

1. But before Benoit sees the veterans first- Bruce Hamilton Planning ahead hand on the field, he will see upwards of 100 rookies at the Sooners rookie camp June 21-26. Benoit, a teacher as well as head coach at D'Arcy McGee High School in Hull each of the last seven seasons where his teams compiled a 40-15-1 mark, has spent the last four months recruiting heavily on both sides of the Ottawa River as well as extensively in the Ottawa Valley. Benoit is confident he and his assistants have rounded up several prospects. Benoit's suspicions are being further reinforced this week while assisting at training camp for Thursday night's 13th annual Ottawa Citizen Senior Bowl.

"We covered as many schools as we could," said Benoit. "There's always some schools you miss but we've tried our best. "The organization's philosophy has always been everybody should have a chance to play for the Sooners so we've sent out a lot of invitations.
