Hardgrove Ready
Ag Nine Plays Bryan
In Practice Game
‘High Nooners 9 Help Hitters
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
With ace pitcher Joe Hardgrove sound once again, A&M
gives local baseball fans a sneak preview of its championship
form tonight against the Bryan all-stars at Travis park in
Bryan.
The practice game, scheduled to help the Aggies get ac
customed to playing at night, begins at 7:30 p.m. Admis
sion is free.
Hardgrove, leading conference twirler, and unanimous all-
SWC choice, will start for the Cadets tonight. Big Jerry
Nelson and Dick Munday will split the mound duties with
Hardgrove.
“Hardgrove seems to be throwing harder than before
~*he hurt his arm,” said Jimmy
Williams, unanimous all-SWC
catcher.
Tickets to the Aggie-Ari-
zona series next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday are avail
able now. Prices are $1.50 for box
seats, $1 for general admission and
50 cents for students.
These tickets may be purchased

Behind the scenes of any cham
pionship team are those who share
the work, but never get the glory.
Pitchers Lynn Monical, Doug Mul
lins and catcher Louie Nelson, dub
bed the “High Nooners” by their
teammates fall into this category.
“It’s hard to see how' we could
have won without those guys play
ing their hearts out in practice
every day,” said Captain Les Byrd.
Monical, a junior righthander
from Lake Jackson, and sophomore
Mullins take most of the intra
squad and batting practice chores.
They begin pitching batting prac
tice at 12 p.m. on the days A&M
has a game, and thus picked-up
the nick-name “High Nooners.”
“They’re the best batting prac
tice pitchers I’ve ever batted
against” said John Stockton, “they
sure help me with my hitting. They
could make about any other staff
in the league now.”
Nelson, 6-2 sophomore back stop,
from San Antonio, calls all the
pitches in batting practice, and
gives Aggie baserunners plenty of
headaches in intrasquad games.
