Ag Nine Open Practice
With Solid Mound Staff
By JIM CARRELL
Assistant Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies, led by cap
tain Dick Munday and nine letter-
men, open practice today for the
1957 baseball season with Coach
Beau Bell boasting good prospects
on the mound staff and inexperi
enced personnel at every position
except centerfield and first base.
Every position is open and the
scramble for berths on the Aggie
squad will go to the players “with
the biggest bats”.
After winning the South
west Conference championship
two years ago with a 13-2 re
cord and a 19-5 season the
Aggies suffered from anemia
at the plate last year plumet-
ing to fifth place on a 5-9
conference record and 10-13
over the full season route.
Coach Bell, the veteran Aggie
mentor, begins his seventh season
at A&M with hoped for higher
batting averages to go along with
his fine pitching personnel.
Munday, with a 4-5 record, leads
a seven member mound corps con
sisting of four lettermen and three
members up from the freshman
team.
Other lettermen include Lef
ty Toby Newton of Galveston,
all-Southwest Conference as a
Sophomore a year ago and a
member of the National Base
ball Congress amateur all-
America team; Paul Lang, Ar
lington senior and Doug Mul
lins, Wichita Falls senior who
earned his letter two years
back.
Newton, owner of a 3-4 record
of a year ago, struck out 76 bat
ters in 64-% innings, and had an
earned run average of 3.0. Lang
was 2-2 last year.
Outstanding sophomore mound
prospects include right-handers
Donnie Hullum of Baytown and
Wayne Schaper of Galveston, and
Southpaw Bo Paradbwski of Bryan.
Hullum, 1-4 for the 1956 Fish,
struck out 54 batters in 50-% in
nings, fashioning a neat 2.8 ERA.
Paradowski was 2-2 and had 25
strikeouts in 23 innings pitched.
The leading catching pros
pect is Gary Herrington, Bay-
town sophomore, who wielded
a big bat for the Fish last
year, batting .500 for ten
games and fielding .981. If
he fails to come through, Dic
kie Thomas, a squad man from
Dallas or Louis Nelson, San
Antonio senior who, like Mul
lins, lettered two years ago,
might draw the nod.
Infielders include two year let
terman John Hoyle, a Longview
senior and .197 hitter, and Joe
Worden, third sacker and letter-
man senior from Apalachicola,
Fla. Senior squadman Lupe Fraga,
from St. Thomas high school in
Houston, is a good possibility at
shortstop or third.
Three fine sophomore prospects
in the infield are Wayne Bailee of
Baytown, Lyle “Hoot” Gibson of
Galena Park (Houston) and Le-
land Lantz of Houston.
Outfields are Behn Hubbard,
a .218 hitter and letterman
from Cuero, and James Smoth
er man of Frisco, who lettered
as a catcher last year, batting
.270. Help in the outfield is
expected to come from sopho
mores, Wendell Reed of Jef
ferson and Cliff Tuttle of
Houston. Tuttle hit the long
ball for the Fish with 12 RBIs
on two doubles, a triple and
two home runs included in 12
hits of 40 at bats.
The Aggies open the season
with the University of Houston
on A&M Sports Day, Saturday,
March 2 at Kyle Field.
