By pushing out Toyonishiki, the Hawaiian born Nisei wrestler of the East team, in a feature match on the 10th day of the 11 day series, Kotonishiki, a promising "maegashira" of the West team and sole undefeated grappler in the senior camp, further tightened the possibility of realizing his long cherished ambition for the championship of the Osaka main sumo tourney on June 24 at the Kokugikan, Abenobashi, Osaka.
    In an all "ozeki" bout, Azumafuji, vice captain of the East team, yanked out Saganohana after a grueling tussle.
