Defeating the Sophomores by 10 to 9 in a ninth-inning rally yesterday, the Junior Class nine won the class baseball championship of the University and the right to meet the champion Yale class nine at New Heaven on Saturday. The winning run was scored in a two run rally started when B. B. Long '28 beat out a bunt, M. J. Adams '28 sacrificed, A. W. Slocum '28 tripled to tie the score and then G. F. Russell '28 singled, bringing across the winning run.
Twelve players, two managers, and M. A. Cheek '26, coach of the Junior nine, will travel to New Haven, Saturday, to meet the champion class nine of Yale, which has not yet been determined.
Class numerals will be awarded to the members of the victorious 1928 nine, and if they should win over Yale, medals will be presented to them. A cup has been given upon which the names of the victorious team will be inscribed, and which will be each year in the possession of the college last winning it.
One more game remains on the Junior schedule, since the 1928 team will clash with the Seniors today, but the result of this game will not affect the class standing in any way.

1928 J. W. Baldwin, 2b, J. W. Burrows c, B.B Long rf, M. J. Adams 3b, A. W. Slocum p, G. F. Russel 88, D. J. Kelly 1b, C. P. Atherton 1f, W. W. Taff cf, J. R. Giese cf.
