New Britain, CT = Montclair State College's eight-game winning streak over the last two years ended here at Arute Field yesterday as Central Connecticut State won its second straight Eastern Football Conference game, downing the Indians, 18-14.

The loss was the first for Coach Clary Anderson's this season after three wins. Montclair State's mark is now 0-1 in the EFC.

Central Connecticut which came from behind after spotting the Indians a 7-0 lead, has won two games in the conference and is unbeaten in three games this season.

The Indians' defeat was traceable to their inability to move the ball. With the exception of the first-period drive and a 96-yard march in the final moments of the game, MSC had no offense.
Defensive halfback JOHN BRUNELLI set up the MSC touchdown in the first period when he recovered a Central Connecticut State fumble on the home eleven's 15-yard line.

Two line plays netted only two yards and a five-yard penalty moved the Indians back to the 15. On third down, quarterback BOB BREWSTER threw a strike to end ROLAND KASCHER just under the goal posts for a TD. Brewster converted and the Indians led 7-0.

The fumbling of a fourth-down pass from center on a punt set up Central Connecticut first points in the second period. Punter MIKE VAN ZILE attempted to run with the low pass but was inches short on the Indians' 30.

The Montclair State defense threw the Blue Devils back after they advanced to the three, but Norman Davidson booted a 25-yard field goal to make the score 7-3 at halftime.

Central Connecticut scored in the third period on a 64-yard march in 15 plays. The TD came on a six-yard pass from quarterback Dale Finch to John Magaletta.

In the fourth period, the Blue Devils went 80 yards on 12 plays for a second TD. The touchdown came on a freak play with Pete Siran recovering a fumble that was booted from the Montclair State nine-yard line to end zone for six points.

Montclair State went 96 yards in seven plays, five via he air route, for ta final score in the fourth period. Brewster's pass from the five-yard line was deflected by a Blue Devil linesman into fullback TONY VALPONE's hands who raced over for the score.
