We calculate the phase shifts in pion-nucleon scattering using the heavy baryon formalism. We consider phase shifts for the pion energy range of 140 to 200 MeV. We employ two different methods for calculating the phase shifts{emdash}the first using the full third order calculation of the pion-nucleon scattering amplitude and the second by including the resonances {Delta} and N{sup *} as explicit degrees of freedom in the Lagrangian. We compare the results of the two methods with phase shifts extracted from fits to the pion-nucleon scattering data. We find good to fair agreement between the calculations and the phase shifts from scattering data. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
