Controlled kicking and passing trends in 1938 football
The Associated Press poll of 1938 coaches and observers notes a surge in controlled kicking to the sidelines and frequent passing, with the five man line fading on the coast and the seven eight man setups rising in the midwest and east. Coastal teams and New England increased passing while the Big Ten relied more on running plays due to weather and interception risk.
