Burmese Ambassador Thein Maung, Thai Ambassador W. Wichit Wathakan to Nippon, and General Artemio Ricarte of the Philippines saw the professional sumo matches at the Kokugikan, Tokyo, on January 14.
    Sitting together with Mitsuru Toyama, the Burmese and Thai Ambassadors were told about the essence of Nippon's national pastime by the former and watched the matches with keen interest.

    Three out of six grapplers, including Futabayama, "yokozuna" of the West team, who had been retaining their unmarred records, dropped from the list of undefeated wrestlers on the sixth day of the spring main sumo tourney, January 14, at the Kokugikan, Tokyo.
    As a result of the defeat of Futabayama at the hands of Matsunosato, there is no undefeated "yokozuna" wrestler. The two other grapplers, who had their undefeated records spoiled on that day were Kamikaze and Azumafuji, both of the West team, who were toppled by Masuiyama, "komusubi," and Sagamigawa, "sekiwake," respectively.
    The West team outpointed the East team 11 to 10 on the day to increase its lead in the inter-team series to 14 points, the total score being 75 points to 61.
