Freshinen Peter Crooke and Mark Belger will give the visitors added strength. GroVes, a perpetual advocate of overall team.depth, will undoubtedly have to work hisl theory to perfection to ovet•come Villanova's power. The key tol victory for the Lions depends on whether they can dominate the middle positions of the race. In Groves' words, "We gotta hit them with some depth. A depth team is better than a couple of stars anytime." Penn State has the manpower to do it. Lettermen George Malley, captain Davis USC's senior tailback, rushed for 2,303 yards the past two seasons, and he added 74 more and a 106-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in USC's,opening loss to Arkansas.
