ILdenton Aces Win 15th Consecutive Game Friday Night Take Measure of Big i Roanoke Rapids Yel low Jackets By 14-6 Score 'j Chalking up their 15th con secutive victory, Edenton’s Aces in\Roanoke Rapids Friday night wore down a much heavier Yel ldw Jacket outfit and "walked off the field clinging to the long end of a 14-6 score. The Yellow Jackets drew first blood when, aided by a recovered fumble on the Aces’ 25-yard line, they scored a touchdown early in the second quarter On the second play Cooke grabbed a pass and got away for the score. The Aces, however, dominated the play the remain-i der of the quarter and near, the close drove 53 yards to score when Wayne Ashley crash ed through the line frqm about the 1-foot line. During the third quarter the ball see-sawed back and forth, though the Aces were in pos session the majority-of the time The Aces put the .game on ice about midway the fourth quarter. With Carroll Fore-' hand, Richard Dixon and Wayne Ashley alternating in carrying the ball, the Aces drove 58 yards to add the clincher touch down. The trio tore the big 'Roanoke Rapids line to shreds and when at the 5-yard line Forehand found a hole, jumped over a Yellow Jacket and reach ed the end zone untouched. Forehand also had a perfect average for booting extra points, with both attempts sending the ball through the uprights. Facing a stronger outfit than in the opening game against Camden, the Aces showed con siderable improvement. Os pourse, some cosfTy mistakes ) y/ere made, but on. the whole it appears that the Billings-coach ed team will again be able to hold its own, especially in the Albemarle Conference. In the offensive department Carroll Forehand was easily the star. He carried the brunt ..of the ball carrying, but was aW(i assisted by Richard Dixon who also picked up considerable yardage and was hard to stop by the big Yellow Jackets. Wayne Ashley, too, was a hard man to stop, and contributed to the Aces’ yardage. Joe Mitch ener almost got away on a pass and he was a thorn in the side of Jackets runners, one time breaking through to chalk up a 10-yard loss. Douglas Twiddy also played a good game, connecting with a pass which set up a touchdown on the 7-yard line. Continued on Page 1.
