Aerial attack is less dangerous and treacherous than ground plays, in the opinion of L. R. "Dutch" Meyer, coach of the undefeated 1938 football team at Texas Christian University.
In most paris of the Southwest, Meyer said today in an article in The Saturday Evening Post, the pass is a normal part of the offense "set a dangerous maneuver to be used sparingly and in faint hope." He backs this statement up with the figures that in 1938 the Frogs passed 229 times and in 11 games lost the ball only seven times by interception, but 17 times by fumbles.
"Mind you I do not contend that a team can get out there and play catch all afternoon. Many an enemy outfit, with a fast and smart defense, will have you cating passes before quitting time if you can't do anything but peg to second base," the T. C. U. mentor writes.
Meyer claims that a team must have a well-rounded offense to be successful. Teams must have effective ground attack to complement the air offense, according to the "Dutch."
