Engle lists the development nt

reasons for the Nittanies’ late
season surge.
THE LIONS are ready physical

Williams on the doubtful list.
Williams suffered a leg injury
against Holy Cross last week.
■Pitt coach John Michelosen has
been reminding his team all week
that the favorite usually loses in
this rivalry, but the Panthers need
little reminding. The Lions knock
ed Pitt out of Gator Bowl conten

Michelosen will start A 1 Grigal

at end. Gary Kaltenbach (245) and
Ed Adamchik (230) at tackle, Tom
Brown (220) and Ralph Conrad

The hackfield will have Jim
Trafkant (190)' at quarterback,
Paul Martha (180) and JEd Clark
(170) at halfback and Rick Leeson
(195) at fullback.
Martha and Leeson have been
standouts for the Panthers this
season. Martha is Pitt’s leading
