A Harvard student suffered a serious concussion yesterday afternoon when he ran into a tree while reaching for a pass in a touch football game near Weeks Bridge. After a delay of 25 minutes before an ambulance arrived, John W. Huntington, Jr. '62 was taken to Stillman Infirmary, which had not issued any report on his condition by 8:30 p.m. last night.

Immediately after the accident, another student in the game called the University's central operator and asked for an ambulance. The operator told him one would be sent as soon as possible.

When sme 15 minutes had elapsed, the student called the Cambridge emergency squad, whose ambulance arrived within five minutes and took Huntington to Stillman.
