Dramatic Ra
A&T Game 6-5
A light schedule for the
Guilford College baseball
team this past week did not
make for dull games as the
Quakers won two of the last
weeks three games.
On Monday the Quakers
entertained cross-town rival
North Carolina A&T. The
Quakers were behind in the
bottom of the ninth inning and
were down to only one out
when Barry Hussey singled to
give the Quakers one man on.
Randy Black then followed
with another single to give the
Quakers men on first and
second. Ray Cooke who was
pinch-hitting for Gary Rey
nolds, singled to left field but
the Aggies left fielder bobbled
the ball and Hussey and Black
both scored. Stan Smith then
came on to save the day as he
homered over the left field
fence to give the Quakers an
extra inning game and another
chance to win the game. The
win finally came in the 11th
inning after the Quakers had
loaded the bases and Charlie
Kearns hit a single to
right-center field to score
Black and Baden Bright Spots for Quaker Diumondmen
At this time last season the
Guilford College base ball
team was sitting on a 12-1
overall record. The Quakers
lost only one player off of that
team from last year so things
should be the same.
But they are not. The
Quakers currently sit with a
9-10 overall record and Quaker
head Coach Stuart Maynard
knows the reason why.
"We're leaving to many
men stranded on the bases,"
states the head mentor.
"We've got to start producing
some runs out of our hits,"
continues Maynard, "I'm
disappointed with our hit
ling."
"At the beginning of the
year 1 was concerned with our

Brace Baden
Randy Black the winning run.
On Friday the Quakers
dropped their first conference
game of the year 8-2 to
Atlantic Christian College.
Randy Black's lead off homer
in the bottom of the first
inning was just about all the
Quakers had to cheer about as
they couldn't seem to hit the
ball.
On Saturday the Quakers
played Lenoir Rhyne College
in what had to be one of the
best ball games they have
played all year.
Randy Black again started
off the game with a home run
and that was all that Guilford
really needed as they defeated
the Bears 7-0.
Chip Smith went the
distance on the mound
striking out 9 and allowing
only 6 hits while hurling the
Quakers first shut out of the
year.
Guilford faces four games
this week with three of them
being very important confer
ence contest. Atlantic Christ

and Elon on Sunday.
pitching, but our pitching has
been adequate this year so far,
it's just that we're not hitting
the ball and scoring runs."
Gary Reynolds a transfer
from Pembroke State has
come on and is showing that
he knows how to play some
good baseball. Reynolds plays
right field for the Quakers and
has a good stick at the plate as
well as a good solid arm in the
outfield.
Bobby Chamberlain former
Greensboro Smith star who
came to the Quakers from
Mitchell Junior College has
shown some good form
pitching.
The strong righty has a 1-3
record but his E.R.a. is 3.88.
Barry Hussey has come on
in recent games and helped
boost the Quakers to a couple
of wins. It was Hussey's hit in
the bottom of the ninth inning
that started the Quakers
comeback rally for a 6-5 extra
inning win over North
Carolina A&T.
Hussey who was injured last
year is currently hitting .348
and adds a lot of enthusiasm
and hustle to the team.
But when you get right
down to it the two big bright
spots on the Quaker squad so
far t-;is season are left fielder
Bruce Baden and center
fielder Randy Black.
Baden is a junior from

"Bruce is our most
dependable player," states
Maynard, "He is a very smart
and heady ball player, he is a
real fine defensive player."
A .314 hitter last season,
Bruce is currently hitting .271
and is leading the team in
slugging percentage with a
.400 average. Bruce leads the
team in times at bat with 70
and runs batted in with 14.
Along with Baden in the
outfield is the player that pro
scouts say is the best
equipped young ball player
we've seen in a long time.
Randy Black the Quakers
centerfielder has it all. Speed,
strength, hitting ability and
ball playing ability.
"Randy does it all well,"
states Maynard.
"He runs well, he hits well,
he throws well, all the things
the pros like in a good solid
player," continues Maynard.
And the scouts at every
home ball game to see Randy
Black.
The Quaker junior from
Thomasville, North Carolina,
is currently hitting .312 which
leads the team.
Mr. Ail-Around baseball
player Randy led the team in
six different categories last
year and is on his way to the
same type feat this season.

Randy Black
Black currently leads the
team in most runs scored with
22, has four home runs and is
10-11 stealing bases.
Black a left hander has been
the lead off batter for the
Quakers for the past three
years and if he and the other
players can begin making runs
out of hits then the 1976
Guilford College baseball
season may turn into a good
year for the Quakers in
baseball.

Slide Show
on
World Economy
A slide show reporting the
impact of Multinational Con
glomerates on the world
economy will be shown in
Founder's Gallery on Thurs
day, April Bth at 3:00 p.m.
During the Vietnam War
the American Friends Service
Committee established "Na
tional Research on the
Military Industrial Complex"
to study the role of the major
industries in the government's
war program. At the end of
the war the research was
continued and was focused on
the rapidly growing multina
tional corporations. It has
looked into the method of
expantion into other nations,
the use and control of foreign
governments, the control of
resources and markets, the
use of native labor and the
development of monoply
controls.
The research Findings will
be presented in a 50 minute
slideshow which will be
interpreted by Miss Elaine
Fuller, a member of the
research staff from the AFSC
National Office in Philadel
phia.
If the conglomerates con
tinue to grow at their present
rate it is estimated that they
will control and administer
one half of the worlds gross
produce by the end of the
century.
