...tougher and his teams tackle no more savagely than those of other top football schools, and the day is long past when he would yank a star quarterback out of a hospital bed and send him out to play. But just as in the old days, his players still regard him with awe that is tinged with fear. There is no physical intimidation, in the style of the deposed Woody Hayes of Ohio State and Frank Kush of Arizona State. "I don't remember ever seeing Bear hit a player," says Dietzel.

Proponents of bilingualism, including Hufstedler, regard the report not only as inadequate but out of date.
