Six wrestlers, namely five in the "makunouchi" (senior) class and one in the "juryo" (junior) class, maintained their unmarred records by defeating their respective opponents on the fifth day of the spring main sumo tourney, January 13, at the Kokugikan, Tokyo.
    The six undefeated grapplers are Futabayama, "yokozuna"; Saganohana, "komusubi"; Azumafuji, and Kamikaze, all of the West team, and Toyoshima and Sobuyama of the East team.
    Kiyomigawa, rising grappler of the East team, who was matched with Futabayama on the day, defaulted due to an injury suffered in his bout with Azumafuji on the fourth day. Futabayama was thus given an uncontested win in accordance with the rules. Ryuozan and Inshuzan were also absent from the ring owing to a foot injury and illness, respectively.
    On the day, the East and West teams tied 11 points to 11 in the inter-team competition, but the wEst side still leads n the series with the total score of 64 points to 51.

    The Dai Nippon Sumo Association will hold its Osaka spring tourney for raising enterprise funds for the Osaka branch of the Military Welfare Society for 13 days beginning March 2 at the specially constructed ring at Abenobashi, being participated in by all the wrestlers on the roster of the association.
