Fighting Itsutsuumi Topples Nayoroiwa

   Itsutsuumi, "maegashira" of the East team, who defeated Haguroyama, "yokozuna," and Saganohana, "ozeki," on the second and third days, again shone by toppling Nayoroiwa, "sekiwake," on the fifth day of the Osaka main sumo tourney, June 19, at the specially constructed ring, Abenobashi, Osaka.
