AKIRA KUROSAWA'S MASTERPIECE
RASHOMON
Set in the middle ages, RASHOMON
probes the ungraspable quick-silver
nature of truth and subjective re
ality. Kurosawa cleverly uses a flash
back within a flashback technique
to mold the case history of a man's
murder and the rape of his wife bv
a bandit, played byToshiro Mifune.
The film is an eloquent master
piece, brimming with action while
incisively examining the nature of
truth.

Intramural
Championships
by Frankye Boyles
We have reached the final
week of intramural basketball
with only men's teams and
two women's teams in the
running for the championship.
The two men's semi-final
games were played last night
at 7:00. The men's champion
ship game will be played
Wednesday night at 7:00.
If the men's varsity
basketball team wins Tuesday
night in District competition
and continued play on
Wednesday night, the cham
pionship games will be played
on Thursday night at the same
time.
The two women's teams
trying for the championship in
their league are Mary Hobbs
and Binford 1. Both teams
narrowly escaped their semi
final opponents - Bryan and
Shore. The women's cham
pionship will be played at 8:00
on the same night as the
men's championship.
In men's play last week
most of the games were very
close and some were decided
in the last few seconds.
The spectacular plav of the
season was made last week by
Brad Mcllwaine of Heaven's
Seven. At the end of the first
half, he picked off a defensive
rebound standing inside the
foul line, threw the basketball
as if it were a baseball to the
basket at the other end of the
court and IT WENT IN!
For all we know, there may
be mote plays like that one so
come out to see the
championship games!

Baseball Begins With a Bang
The Quakers opened their
1976 season with two home
victories against West Virgi
nia Tech.
Maynard is returning all but
one player off of last season's
24-8 ball club and prospects
look good for Guilford.
"The main thing will be our
pitching," stated the head
mentor, "if our pitchers come
through and have good games
and we can supply them with
some hitting power then I
believe we'll have a good
season."
The Quakers pitching staff
looks to be in good shape as
the Quakers return two of the
top pitchers in the nation to
the mound.
Larry Jackson, the Quakers
ace lefthander, returns to the
mound after leading the team
in wins last year posting a 10-2
record.
"Larry is a great pitcher,"
comments Maynard, "he has
so many pitches that he can
throw at you a curve ball a
slider a fast ball and a change
up all can keep a batter
guessing."
Along with Jackson will be
the return of strong armed
right hander Ray Cooke.
Cooke led the N.A.I.A. last
year with the lowest E.R.A. in
the nation of 0.54.
"Cooke has great control
and he can stay ahead of the
batter, that's his strong
point," stated Maynard.
Others returning to the
mound will be Ed Marsh who
went 6-1 last year along with
Andy Howerton and Gary
Leonard. New comers expect
ed to help out include, rookies
Bobby Chamberland, Mark
Cubberly and veteran infielder
Chip Smith.

and tied Randy Black for
R.B.l's with 30, along with
being the leading home run
hitter with 8.
"My junior year we won a
lot of games by one run, and
that's what makes a great ball
team," stated Smith.
"If we can continue to hit
like we did last year and get
the same type pitching we did
last year from Larry Jackson
and Ray Cooke, we'll be an
excellent ball team," com
mented the Kernersvillc
native, "my sophomore year
we lost a lot of games by one
run but last year was
different, and now we have ail
matured and know how to play
ball as a team."
Behind Smith in batting last
year was the Quakers third
baseman Charlie Kearns.
"The Mouth of the Diamond'.'
Charlie ended the season
batting. 367 and if anyone has
ever been able to keep an
infield busy with chatter then
it has to be "Mr. Hustle"
Charlie Kearns.

fleet footed center fielder

the Quakers.
Black led the team in six
categories including stolen
