Haguroyama Beaten In Kyoto Sumo Tourney
KYOTO, Apr. 10 - With the Kyoto tourney of the Japan
Professional Sumo Association reaching its climax, Haguroyama, "yokozuna"
or captain of the West team, who is regarded as the most promising candidate
for the individual title, sustained his first defeat at the hands of Azumafuji,
"ozeki," today on the eighth day of the 10 day series.
As a result of the defeat of Haguroyama, Terukuni,
"yokozuna" or vice-captain of the East team, became the only wrestler to
hold an undefeated record since the opening day. On the same day, Terukuni
defeated Fudoiwa.
The main sumo tourney has been going on since April
1 at the open air ring specially constructed at Aburakoji Gojo, Chukyo-ku,
