Aces Srnre A 42-yard pass play from Rolland Sottcrdahl to Reed Hughes set up the Aces lone touchdown. With third and nine on ROVA's 19 -yard line, nuarterback John Anderson completed a pass to left end Jim Krueger for the touchdown, AlWood's extra point attempt proved costly.

Halfback Paul injured his knee on a right end sweep, and the diminutive runner may be forced to miss several games. A fumble ended the Aces last- ditch threat with four minutes remaining in the final quarter. Fullback Lanny Turner picked up 24 yards on two plays, but ROVA recovered on the 37 yard marker. Quarterback Don Eiker ate up valuable time on thrusts up the middle. When the Aces assumed possession of the ball, only 30 seconds were left in the game.

Two incomplete passes ended the action. Duffy Stars Duffy paced the ROVA attack, accounting for more than half the Tigers' total yardage. Quarterback Eiker called an outstanding game and was a stalwart defensively. And Coach Bill Adams' forward wall provided good downfield blocking in the two long touchdown runs by Miller and Duffy. Gene Behnke's AlWood Aces, paced by the hard running of Paul and Setterdahl, unveiled a powerful ground attack.

Few passes were thrown, but the visi- tors showed promise of developing a potent air weapon to supplement their running game.
