Milton, MA – Scoring all its points in the last three periods, Montclair State College yesterday rolled to its third straight football victory without a defeat, romping over Curry, 35-0.

The win was the eighth straight for coach Clary Anderson's Indians over the last two years. Curry suffered its first loss after two victories.

Glen Morchauser, the Indians' talented halfback from Paramus, N.J., was the scoring start for the visitors with two touchdowns. It was Morchauser's third in this season and 13^th of his career at Montclair State.

The Indians' other scores came on a 33-yard pass from RON GARA to halfback JOHN PELLO, a three-yard run by fullback TONY VALPONE and a 35-yard run with a pass interception by PETE CONTALDI.

Montclair State marched 49 yards in 13 plays for its first touchdown with Morchauser converting the last three on an off-tackle slant. BOB BREWSTER kicked the first of five consecutive conversions.

Later in the second period, the Indians drove 65 yards in six plays for a second score. Gara tossed a sensational 33-yard scoring strike to Pello in the Curry end zone for the score.

Contaldi, who played another sensational game at linebacker, set up the third Indian TD when he picked off a pass by Curry quarterback Joe Carabba on the Colonels' 13-yard line and returned it to the nine. Morchauser went over for the touchdown on the next play from the Curry nine.

Another pass interceptions, this time by halfback LONNIE MONCELSI on on the Montclair State five-yard line, set the stage for the fourth Montclair State touchdown. Marching 95 yards in 17 plays, the Indians got on the scoreboard when Valpone crashed over from the Curry three.

The final score came in the fourth period when Contaldi picked off a pass on the Curry 35-yard line and dashed down the sideline for a TD.

The Indians' defense was outstanding giving up only 79 yards. Curry had minus 21 yards rushing against the Indians vaunted five.

MIKE VAN ZILE, who ranked second in the nation last week according to the NCAA figures, helped the MSC cause with another brilliant day. His four punts were good for 213 yards, a 53.3 average.

The three pass interceptions give the Indian defense a total of nine for the young season. The all-time MSC record is 19.

Montclair State opens its bid for the Eastern Football Conference championship next week at Central Connecticut in New Britain.
