Upper Montclair, NJ – With its defensive unit again turning the tide, Montclair State College gained its fourth victory in five starts last night before 6,212 fans in an Eastern Football League Conference game, downing the University of Bridgeport, 21-0.
Coach Clary Anderson's Indians got on the scoreboard only once in the first half, marching 71 yards in nine plays with halfback Glen Morchauser of Paramus skirting right end from the Bridgeport five-yard line for the touchdown.
BOB BREWSTER kicked the first of three successful placements.
The Montclair State offense did not get going again until midway through the fourth period when the home team traveled 16 yards in three plays for its second TD of the game. Fullback
TONY VALPONE slammed over tackle from the one-yard-line for the score.
Late in the final period, after defensive halfback
JOHN BRUNELLI of Palisades Park had intercepted his second pass of the game and returned it to the Bridgeport 28, the Indians tallied in two plays with the score coming on a 17-yard pass from reserve quarterback Bob Consentino to halfback
JOHN DALLY of Lyndhurst.
