Graduate, Cop Bump Cars As Crowd Hoots Policeman

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Undergraduates hooted and cheered as Roy Coleman '52, smashed into the fender of a police car last night.

The accident occured at the corner of Bow and Plympton Streets at 6:30 p.m. yesterday. Both Coleman and Francis Pilleri, a Cambridge policeman, were approaching the un-marked intersection. They met at right angles but Pilleri's car received most of the dents.

Pilleri, when asked who had the right of way answered, "can't you see who got hit." He explained that the car which is hit has the right of way. Massachusetts law, however, also states that the car on the right entering an unmarked intersection has the right of first passage, Coleman was on the right.
