Saganohana, "komusubi" of the West team, and Toyoshima, "maegashira" of the East team, who have been maintaining their undefeated records since the opening day, were finally given black marks at the hands of Kashimanada and Azumafuji, respectively, on the seventh day of the current main sumo tourney, January 15, at the Kokugikan, Tokyo.
    In the "maku-uchi" (senior) camp, no grappler holds an unmarred record as a result of the defeats of Saganohana and Toyoshima.
    Sobuyama, rising wrestler in the "juryo" (junior) camp, thus became the only undefeated wrestler, beating Asa-ake on that day.
    Outpointing the West team 12 to 9 on the seventh day, the East team narrowed the West's lead in the inter-team series to 11 points, total score being 84 points to 73.

    Visiting the Tokyo headquarters of the Mainichi Publishing Co. on January 14 at 11 a.m., Director Fujishima of the Dai Nippon Sumo Association donated through Dr. Ken-ichi Abe, executive editor of the Mainichi, the net profit of ¥14,094.25 of the opening day of the current sumo tourney to Lieut.-General Sadakata Iida of the Society to Honor the War Dead as an enterprise fund of the society.
