The East Camp, led by "Yokozuna" or Grand Champion Haguroyama, defeated the West aggregation 134 to 104 points in the 10-day "summer" Sumo tournament which was brought to a close Tuesday at the Korakuen stadium in Tokyo.
    Haguroyama set the pace for his teammates by winning the individual championship with no defeats in 10 matches, the only wrestler to finish the tourney with a clean slate.
    Haguroyama succeeds this year's "spring" tourney champion, Saganohana, who as a member of the East team suffered three defeats in the tournament just ended. It was Haguroyama's second individual championship, he won his first in the summer tournament of 1941. Always rated an outstanding wrestler he was made a "Yokozuna" (the highest rank among wrestlers), two years ago by the Japan Sumo Association.
    A "Yokozuna" or Grand Champion is the highest rank of wrestlers.
    When Futabayama went down to a miserable defeat at the hands of another "Yokozuna", Terukuni, in the ninth day, fans felt that the one time great "champion of champions," establisher of a record 12 championships, was slowly but surely bowing to age. Although losing to Terukuni can come as no surprise, the manner in which Futabayama was defeated definitely was a surprise. Terukuni faced Futabayama in that crucial match with three defeats chalked up against him. Amid a tension and an air of great expectation, the two men went into their clinch. But before the spectators could really appreciate a "battle of grand champions", it was over. Terukuni simply carried or shoved Futabayama out of the ring..... It was without a doubt one of the biggest defeats for the 33 year old Grand Champion Futabayama.
    There were no remarkable upsets throughout the tourney, although Terukuni on the opening day was vanquished by Mitsuneyama of the "maegashira" rank. The wide margin of 30 points which the East camp was able to pile on the West aggregation can be mainly attributed the poor showing of such favorites as Terukuni and another "Yokozuna", Akinoumi. Then again men such as Toyoshima, Dewaminato, and Sagamigawa, who were expected to be the stalwarts of the West team were only able to take five matches among them.
    For the first time in years, the name of a Nisei wrestler caught the interest of the fans as well as the press. Toyonishiki, a strapping 6 footer, wrestling for the West camp in the "makuuchi" did exceedingly well in his first shot among the top-notchers by taking six of his ten matches. Much is expected of Toyonishiki in the future.
