Centra! now stands at 0-2-1 overall, while the Hilltoppers are (-1-1 in conference play, while Stratford is 0-1-1 in both MBIAC 1 and overall. Exchange Punts Neither team could muster a sustained drive throughout the first quarter and the game turned into a punting contest with Central's Joe DosSantos and Stratford's Bill Strong alternating putting the pigskin in flight. Central managed to put together two first downs at the start ol the second period as it moved the ball from its 20-yard line to the 47 with Dos Santos and speedster Al Osbome handling the bulk of ground duty.

The charges of Walt Kondratovich caught Stratford off-guard when Dos Santos dashed up the middle On a quick opener catching the Parader defensive secondary uptight to gallop 53 yards for the TD. Kick Missed The attempted placement Idck was blocked by Kevin Rooney, who played a strong game for Pat Caseria's squad. The Hilltoppers continued to dominate the remainder of the 'first half as they ran over the Panders' line in convincing fashion and put tremendous defensive rush on quarterback Dave Milford Hun For First Gr By PETE PUTRIMAS Milford High School swept to its first win of the young grit season as the Indians complete ly inundated a weak Bassick high team, l-6, in MBIAC foot ball action yesterday at Kenne dy Stadium.

Joseph Team By GEORGE BAIRD St. Joseph's jumped out to an early lead and was never seriously threatened as the cadets bombed Bullard-Havens, 30-8, in an independent grid clash at the Cadets' field yesterday. The hard-chargin? Cadet line put extreme pressure on Tech quarterback Jim Kin 1 1 a throughout the tilt to neutralize his passing prowess, forcing him into numerous interceptions as the Trumbull eleven evened its season record at 2-2, while Bullard-Havens dropped to 1-2. Interceotions Set Up Two Scores The Cadets drew first blood as defensive end Don Duford picked off a Kinsella aerial in the end zone for touchdown and John Fan-ell's kick gave Larry Urda's combine a 7-0 lead. St.

Joseph's augmented its edge to 14-0 at Intermission as Joe Kielv intercepted another i a pass at the 35- yard line and returned it to the one-yard marker. On a critical fourth down situation, after three attempts met with little success, quarterback Kevin Morey bucked in for the score. Farrell added the PAT. Tech narrowed the gap to 14-8 midway through the third session as Bob Redmond recovered a Cadet fumble in the end zone with Kinsella scampering in for the conversion after faking a kick. Mauritz A pair of TD romps by senior captain Rutty Mauritz on dashes of one and ten yards turned the game into a rout.

Late in the third period the Cadets began a prolonged march to paydirt with Mauritz doing most of the The longest play covered 30 yards by Mauritz and kept ihe drive alive.

Eye-Catching Score Stratford reached paydirt with less than two minutes remaining in the half as a bit of razzle-daz zle paid off handsomely. Stratford had the ball on Cen tral's 39-yard line, and on firs down. Stearns hit flanker Terry Bannister on the line of scrim mage, upon receiving the bal Bannister later railed to sweeping end Tony Giaquinto, who rambled the distance for the touchdown. The crucial PAT failed and neither team managed to tally the rest of the fray. Caseria's crew had an apparan touchdown brough back in the third session as clipping penalty denied Quenti Tyler of a 59-yard score on screen pass from Stearns.

Paraders Dig In The Hilltoppers threatened early In the final quarter as they drove from their own 44-yard stripe to the Parader one-foot line before the Qlg Red stiffened and prevented the winning points. The Central surge picked up four first downs with Dos Santo and Osgorne ripping off hug chunks of real estate on almos every carry, except when they 'ailed on the last series.

Rasso opened the scoring in thei first period with a 28-yard field goal before Len Galbicsek galloped 29 yards for a touchdown.

(AP) The iVyoming Cowboys scored 23 joints in the last three minutes nd defeated Colorado State Jniversity 39-3 in Western Uhletlc Conference football Same Saturday, Rich Silva Sparkles In 47-30 Win Senior Halfback Tallies Four Touchowns For Lawmen Highly touted Jonathan Law raced to its third consecutiv victory yesterday, clubbin MBIAC rival Notre Dame, 47-30 as Rich Silva turned in a spec tacular performance at the vie tors' field before a large turn out. The senior halfback gaine 223 yards rushing and 107 on three receptions for an astount ing 330 total.

Silva's great el fort, which produced fou touchdowns, powered the Law men to their second league win and handed the Lancers of Bo! Deveau their second setback in three starts. In the league the are 1-1. Quarterback Jim Rayn con nected on two TD tosses, on each to Silva and Billy Jaques in raising his three-game tota to eight. The 6-3 senior com pitted eight of 20 passes fo 200 yards and directed the Law men to 2(9 yards-gained on the ground. Mike Zavada and DeWitt Har mon were the individual stand outs for the Lancers.

Zavada hit on 5-11 tosses and he crash ed over from the one and dash ed 57 yards for another paydir run. Harmon, the top runner for the Lancers, rumbled four yards for one TD and rushed for a two-point conversion. Lawmen Tally First The Lawmen of Devon got the lump on the visiting Lancers as Silva gained 42 yards in 10 fries and Ryan sneaked over trom the one in completing a Si-yard drive on the game's offensive series. Following a 58 yard punt Charlie Kinsman, who had punt ed, stopped Silva in the end zone for a safety. One play ater, after Law kicked off Zavada escaped a host would-be tacklers and went in untouched for a 57-yard tally Pat Fenton added the PAT and Notre Dame had a 9-7 lead.

Silva, however, didn't give the Lancers much time to savor their two-point bulge, as he carried from the four for six points after grabbing a Ryan aerial for a 41-yard gain. The score gave Law a 14-9 lead after Ryan converted and ushered in the second stanza. Harmon, a hard-nosed full- lack, lifted the Lancers into the ead for the last time as he picked up 41 yards in five carries on Notre Dame's next series, ncluding the final four, and then bulled in for the extra points. Notre Dame then led, 17-14. Ryan spotted Silva by himsell on the left side late in the first half and hooked up for a 51-yard score, giving Law the upper land for keeps.

The half-time rest must have ieen just what the doctor ordered, as Silva gained three first downs before cracking rom the four and romped for a TD of 55 yards on tie next series after Jaques had intercep- ed a Zavada aerial with a fine assist from Ryan, the safety, lyan's third PAT (he had five) loosted Law to a 33-17 advan- age. Pete Saccone bolted 31 yards early in the fourth quarter and Zavada tallied on a QB sneak or Notre Dame's final points, but Ryan's 18-yarder and a 26- 'ard pass to Jaques sewed It up or the Devoners. otre Dome 1 13-30 onothon Low 14 6 13 14--47 Scirlns Summiry: LAW-- ftyon, 1 run (Ryen ktck NOTRE DAME-- Kinsmen softly NOTRE DAME-- Zovofla, 57 run (Fenton kick) LAW-- SHvo, 4 run (Ryan kick) NOTRE DAME-- Harmon, 4 run (Har- LAW-- Silva, 51 post from Ryan (kick foiled) LAW-- SNva, 3 run (kick foiled) LAW-- Silva, $5 run (Ryan kick) NOTRE DAME-- Soccone, 31 run (kick felled) LAW-- Ryan, 11 run (Ryan kick) NOTRE DAME-- Zovooa, 1 run (Fenton kick) LAW-- Jonws, J4 pass from Ryan (Ryan Ick) Fall-field U.

The action took place during the second quarter. The Orangemen prevailed by 1 43-7 score. Bridgeport I Vermont Bel Jose Santos banged in a pair of goals and Manny Batista turned in a brilliant performance in the nets yesterday as the University of Bridgeport soccer team blanked the University of Vermont, 1968 Van- 3-0, in a hard-fought battle at Seaside park. The triumph was the third straight without a setback for coach Fran Bacon's hooters and probably will raise the ranking of the Purple Knights in the weekly New England poll. 3ridgeport was fifth-rated be- bre yesterday's struggle with the highly regarded Catamounts.

Santos, the club's second lead ing scorer last year, register ed second and third periot goals for Bridgeport, the firs on an unassisted score on a di reel shot through the Purple night wall and the second af er taking a pass from Bob Juarte. The only adverse development for the Knights was a re njury to the knee of All New England forward Charley Eger vari. The Bridgeport star was injured late in the first periot after scoring the first goal he match on an assist from juarte, who had two in the con test. Bacon said Egervari, who misled last week's Rhode Is land match, probably will be out of action for at least one week. Santos, a brilliant junior from Brooklyn, N.Y., beat Vermon goalie Jim Kiely from 25 yards out for his first tally and then earned with Duarte on pic ure goal for the third Knigh core.

Santos took the ball down the idelines, passed off to Duarte who returned the ball in from the nets, from which point le Bridgeport forward drove le ball through. Batista, who registered i ixth shutout in the last two sea- ons, had seven saves while Kiey was credited with five. Bridgeport outshot Vermont, 222. Co-captain Wolfgang Woisch- and Larry Sachin, the latter eturning from an injury, were tandouts on the Bridgeport de- ense, while Walt Kelly, an in- de right, was the Catamounts' ndividual star of the match.

North Haven Barlow Defeats Immaculate, 21-0 Barlow recorded a 21-0 triumph over Immaculate of Dan bury yesterday in a WCC inter division fray on the Falcons turf. John Gettings continued i torrid scoring pace as he tallied two Barlow touchdowns on runs of 16 and nine yards as Gary Engler's crew now boasts a 3-1 overall a while remaining 2-0 in Southern Division standings.

The Danbury eleven squared its record at 2-2, while it is 1-0 in Northern play. After a scoreless first half, the Falcons took advantage of a short Immaculate kick on the 36- yard line, and six plays later, Gettings scooted in from 18 yards out. Ferdinand Lopez-Al- 'ina split the cross-bar for the first of three extra point placements. The Falcons broke the contest open in the fourth period as another poor punt and a spec- acular 52-yard punt return by Jamie Buttendorf preserved Barow's third shutout victory of the campaign. Gettings tallied his second ouchdown on a nine-yard run after Immaculate's punt traveled only two yards from its 35 the 37.

After Barlow's ensuing kickoff, he visitors failed to advance he ball and were forced to re- inquish possession. Buttendorf cooped up the ball and raced unmolested for the points.

Panczyszyn a off the bench to score on the Orange men's first touchdown on a one yard plunge; then directed two more drives that wound up in the Wisconsin end zone as Syra cuse built up a 21-7 advantage. The visitors put the game out of reach in the final period when Greg Allen bolted over from the one; then streaked 83 yards for another six-riinter.

Wisconsin's only score in the fight-filled game came in the waning moments of the secont quarter, when quarterback Nei Graff threaded an 11-yard pass to Mel Reddick at the goal. The loss was Wisconsin's 18th in a row and 23rd game withou a victory. For Syracuse, it was the second victory against one loss. The Badgers failed to get their sophomore-dominated offense in gear. Tremendous lateral pursuit by the Syracuse immediately closed down any holes the Badger offensive line could open.

angemen ran through the poro us Wisconsin defense as easily as water through a sieve. When the Badgers did cut off the Syracuse ground game, Panczyszyn shredded the secondary with his sharp passing. Gallant Bloom Wins 9th in Row ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) King Ranch's 3-year-old Gil- ant Bloom, unbeaten this yelr, won the Matchmaker Stakes al day, earning $35,000, service to one of the nation's top stallions and clinching her division championship. In her first start against older 'lilies and mares, Gillint Jloom sped to her ninth straight victory-- seventh this year-- as she whipped a field of eight including the nation's top handicap mare, William Haggin Perry's 5-year-old Gamely.

Wins By Seven Lengths With Jockey John L. Rotz in he saddle, Gallant Bloom scored by seven lengths over Gamely, with Walter M. Jef- ords Singing Rain third and Rokeby Stable's Amerigo Lady fourth. Gallant Bloom was never worse than third in the 1 3-16 mile race, winning in 1:55 2-5, a ifth of a second off the track ecord set by Politely Sept. 30, 967, in this event.

A crowd of 0,257 sent the only 3-year-old in he race off as the 8-5 second choice and returned 55.20, (2.60 and $2.20. Gamely paid $2.40 and $2.20 as the favorite. Singing Rain re- urned $2.60 Gallant Bloom's trainer, Budy Hirsch, said he could not make in immediate choice mong the three stallions of- ered for service as part of the Hirse, since King Ranch owner lobert J. Kleberg is in Austral. He said he didn't know which lira Kleberg would choose, Jesuits Notch Third Shutout Gintoff, Mitchell Power Prepsters' Potent Attack By Jeseph Gatte Fairfield Prep used the explosive running of halfback Pau Mitchell and fullback Greg Gin toff, and combined it with a stingy defense to register a 28-0 MBIAC triumph over Harding yesterday on the Presidents home field.

Mitchell stunned the Presi- by scooting 54 yards on a reverse on Prep's initial offensive play of the day. The shifty little scatback added another TD late in the fourth quarter. Gintoff, the Jesuits' bruising fullback, accounted for the other two Prep scores with runs of 30 and 21 yards, respectively. The burly Gintoff finished the day with 109 yards in nine carries while Mitchell contributed 91 yards in 14 attempts to lead Prep's devastating ground game. The highlight of the game wis the consistent performance of the Fairfield defensive unit.

The Prepsters have now registered three successive league wins while tallying IS points In the process. However, coach Earl Livery's rugged defense his not allowed the opposltlan to reach piydlrt. Co-captain Pete Brawley spearheaded the Prep defense from his corner back spot. Other Prep bulwarks Included tackles Richard Ryan and Walter Welch, guards Kevin Beardsworth and Ken Pruzlnsky, middle guard David Tucker and end John Friar. Prep spurted to a quick 15-0 lead in the opening period on Mitchell's 54-yard and Gintoff's 30-yard scamper.

The second Fairfield score was set up by Brawley, who intercepted a misguided Jim Seymour pass and returned it to the Harding 33-yard line. After Mitchell lug- jed for three yards, Gintoff iroke loose for his first TD be- lind some nifty blocking by Friar, Russ Adamchak and Tim Burns. Prep scored again in ihe second quarter following a fumble iy President halfback Larry McNeil. The winners marched 42 yards in five plays with Gintoff going off the right side of Prep line again for the final 21 yards and the score. McNeil Leads Rushers Harding could never really get its offense unwound.

McNeil, Presidents' top running back, was pretty much by the Prep defenders all afternoon. McNeil, an elusive ball carrier with good speed and power, dit manage to crack the Fairfield defense for 133 yards in 32 attempts. The Presidents rallied in the closing minutes of the contest ehind substitute quarterback Kevin McCalla. The sophomore signal-caller entered the tussle with just about two minutes remaining and promptly completed five of seven passes. However, the Prep defense, as usual, rose to the occasion anl stalled the President drive.

Tackle Rodney Dennis turned a fine defensive showing for he Presidents ilong with corner back Bobby Andrejko. The defeat dropped record to 1-2 for the season.

But despite five fum bles and numerous penalties the Eagles showed enough to contain winless Staples of West port, 7-6, in an FCIAC footbal game. The Eagles couldn't reproduce the form that enabled them to shock heavily favored Stam ford Catholic, but by the same token they proved the upset wasn't exactly a fluke either as some skeptics suggested.

It was a game of missed op portunities, with both teams fail ing to establish either a ground game or passing threat until the final quarter. The sloppy field undoubtedly accounted partially for that. With a minute left in the thin period, Trumbull mounted what was to be its only touchdown drive of the afternoon. Taking over on its own 36, the visitors surged to the Staples 15 in six plays, including a 26-yard pass from quarterback Tim St. Onge to end Joe Mallozzi, before time ran out.

From there, three short bursts by halfback Dave Duncavage, a 6'1, 185-pound junior, and an interference penalty gave the Ea- ges the ball on the one-yard line.

Early in the first period, Kolbe fumbled deep in its own territory and John Nessel recovered for the Tom Fujitani-led team on the Friars' 22-yard line.

Two plays liter, Brown darted off tackle for his first scoring run. After each team failed to move the ball, Wilton punted and Kolbe's Mark Williams fumbled on the 48-yard stripe with Gil Livingston falling on the abandoned pigskin. The Warriors marched the distance in nine plays i Brown toting the ball the final five times for the tally. Dave Kingsbury added the first of three placement kicks to Increase the margin to 13-0.

Once again the Warriors took advantage of the situation as they drove 72 yards in only nine plays for the final score of the half, with Brown notching his final six points. The Wilton combine managed its final score midway through he third session as Ken Pratt muled in a screen pass from Joe Selinger and outraced several Friar defenders for a 16- ytrd touchdown as the tally, was set up by a bad swap from center on a fourth down attempted punt. Brown led the Warriors in rushing with 79 yards in 15 at- empts, while Phil Ross and John Fechko starred for Kolbe.

But a long pass, slightly un- derthrown, intended for 'ace receiver Gary Belmont was intercepted by Steve Boyum, who free-lanced his way all the Way back to the Staples 43. Two play later, the Wreckers regained possession when John Walker scooped up a Trumbull fumble. Three passes went incomplete and Staples found itself fOrc'td to punt with less than six minutes to go. Four plays after that, it controlled the ball for two series before losing it on downs.

A fumble recovery by Orej Lane stirred hopes for Staples' first victory.
