2 'Yokozuna' Beaten

Futaba, Aki Bow On 5th Day Of Osaka Sumo

    Futabayama and Akinoumi, both "yokozuna," who maintained their undefeated records until the fourth day, were defeated by Masuiyama and Kamikaze respectively, on the fifth day of the Osaka tourney of the Dai Nippon Sumo Association, April 9, at the specially constructed Kokugikan in the Fukushima park.
    It was also a jinx day for Maedayama, "ozeki," who suffered his first defeat at the hands of Kashimanada. As a result, Haguroyama, "yokozuna," is now the only grappler who maintains an unmarred record since the opening day.
