In '69, Tyndall, like Onida, went into the tourney unbeaten, but only the Warriors came out PatTOtS Op Defense Tonight By JOHNEGAN Argus-Leader Sports Editor They' just sort of stand there, like book ends, at opposite sides of this week's state Class basketball tournament.

"They" are the 24-and-. zero records sported by Freeman and Dell Rapids St. Mary's. Perfect-record quintets have had their share of problems during the 40-year history the meet but two more victories for the Flyers and Cardinals and the 1975 tourney would have a first two unbeaten Lincoln's Patriots, coming off two consecutive Sioux Interstate Conference victories, open defense of their Section 3A basketball championship at the Arena tonight (Tuesday). Floyd Farrand's Big Red takes on 0 'Gorman at 7 while Brandon-Valley and Washington clash at 8:30.

Lincoln, which defeated Heelan and West in its last two outings, finished regular season play with an 8-12 record. Don Barnes' O'Gorman Knights, who dropped two decisions to the Pats this season, are 7-13. Washington, coached by Elton Byre, is 11-8 and Jerry Leischner's Brandon-Valley Lynx are 17-4.

One thing sure both Freeman and St. Mary's can't finish unbeaten. Gerry Leischner than we had hoped for, because at the beginning of the year we were thinking of a. 500 season. "We were in fourth place all through the conference tournament.

It was the first time Augustana has finished in the upper division and we finished ahead of a nationally ranked team (South Dakota State)." Kendle praised the efforts of Clare Duda, Augustana 177-pounder, who won his division. "Duda wrestled at heavyweight for us all season long but dropped down to 177 for the conference," said Kendle. "He did just a fantastic job. He's the first conference champ we've had at Augie in eight years." Kendle and five Augustana wrestlers will be traveling to the NCAA Division Two meet. "We're looking forward to it and we're really looking forward to having a good time next season." Monday's meeting was scheduled to be the last of the season for the Jump Ball Club, but members voted to meet once more.

"We had a super night against North Dakota We were kind of disappointed with the way we played at South Dakota State the week before. "We played fairly well in the first half against NDS but we were down nine at halftime.

"We finished .500 but we felt earlier in the year we had a good shot at the conference," said Erickson.

Westmar's Eagles captured the title in the Tri-State Conference with the Braves sharing second place. "I felt Westmar got things together, starting rolling and just kept on rolling," said Erickson.
