10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, September 23, 1961 Balmy Beach Jrs. | Nose Out Imps 7-0 "The best football game the Oshawa Imps have played here at home in three seasons" -- that was the unanimous verdict of over 200 fans who were on hand at Kinsmen Civic Memor- ial Stadium last night to see the Imps do battle with the power- ful Toronto Balmy Beach team, in a game that saw the visitors score a deadline single point with about seven minutes to go and a touchdown in the last two minutes, to win a 7-0 decision. The game was a thriller-diller from start to finish, with the Oshawa Imps displaying a brand of defensive football sec- ond-to-none in the league but being just a trifle shy on of- fensive scoring power. With Dave Nicholishen at quarterback, using a variety of plays and surprise moves that] Beact kept the vaunted Balmy "stone wall" in conitnual trouble |visitors recover the ball.

STELLAR TACKLING Throughout the entire game, the outstanding tackling of such stars as Bessoin, Roka, Higgins, Kelly, Hill, Tymoshek, Korchyn- Right from the start, Oshawa Imps indicatde they were out to make a determined bid for vic- tory in this four-point game. Oshawa kicked off and brought down the Balmy Beach receiver with some fine tackling. But the "Balmies" got off a quick and successful attack, via Walker's plunging and a pass from Nihill but the Imps made an Horatio stand for three-straight plays, on their own 10-yard line. Then after gaining possession, Nichol- ishen threw three-straight suc- cessful forward passes and brought the ball to midfield, wheré a long one was missed when the ball bounced off Terry Brain's chest. In the second quarter, Nichol- ishen got off a long heave to Bobbie but he dropped the ball to fault the Oshawa attack and a fumble on the next play saw the| carriers Broadhurst and Walker, two of the B.B. stars, made some good mid-field gains but when they got into range of the Oshawa goal-line, Aru, Roka, Saramac and Higgins came up with devastating tackles to stem the Balmy Beach attack.

Officials of the game, in their dressing room when it was all over, were loud in their praise of Oshawa's brilliant defensive play, "That's the best de- fensive football I've seen in this Junior league since it started" -- declared one veteran official. The game was certainly a thriller, with the Imps making three bril- liant goal-line stands to hold off the vaunted power of Balmy Beach. It was a 0-0 tussle until well into the final quarter and a 60-yard kick that rolled into and beyond the Oshawa end zone, broke the deadlock. When the "Imps" opened up the game in a desperate bid to get back into the running, they ran into one costly penalty and one pass interception, both of which helped the '"Balmies" to score a touchdown, in the last couple of minutes of the hard fought game, We thought Oshawa's tackling was far and away the best they've ever displayed. We haven't room to mention all the stars here -- we listed them in the write-up of the game, but for special effort, we'd have to single out Bessoin, Roka, Higgins, Nicholishen -- and after that -- every- one of the remainder.
