PAGE TEN Pitt Hopes To Solve Passing Problems PITTSBURGH (I1))----Coach John Michelosen looked for ward yesterday to elimination of the passing problems plaguing Pitt's Panthers, and in the process, an end to the team's three-game losing streak against UCLA tomorrow. In its first four games, Pitt I)as been extremely weak on both pass offense and pass de fense. Panther passers have com pleted 21 plisses in 55 attempts for 229 yards and no touchdowns while opponents have thrown 32 good passes in 68 tries for 556 yards and six touchdowns. Michelosen is relying heavily on junior Jim Traficant to change the offensive passing picture. "I believe he can do the job." ichelosen said. "lie's been throwing pretty well in practice. Until now, we just haven't had the good passes. I think the leg Traficant injured before the sea son is okay. "lie didn't run when he had the opportunity against West Vir ginia, and I talked to him about it. But you can't tell what he's going b) do in a game until he does it. Injuries wind up in the mind more than anywhere else." As for pass defense, Miehelosen said: "One of our major problems arises when one man fries to bolster another man in the sec ondary and leaves a receiver open. Our rush on the passer also has fallen down. We're in there and have a chance to get the quarterback, but we let him get away. "We've worked on it, but it's sometimes hard to eliminate those lapses. That's a mental thing with an individual. You never can tell when the lapses will crop up." UCLA (2-2) hasn't passed too much this season, but Michelosen '.ri . pects to see more throwing to morrow. "Mike Haffner, their sopho more tailback, is just coming Into his own," Michelosen said, "He had a real big game last week against Vanderbilt. With him in the game, we expect them to throw a lot more."
