Azumafuji Toppled
TOKYO, Jan. 16 - A big upset marked the fourth day
of the spring professional sumo tourney when Azumafuji, new "yokozuna,"
suffered his first defeat in the current tournament at the hands of Mitsuneyama,
fighting "maegashira," at the specially constructed Kokugikan in Hama-cho
Park, here yesterday.
By pushing out Terunobori, tricky "maegashira,"
on that day, Masuiyama, new "ozeki," maintained his winning streak since
the opening day. He is now the only undefeated wrestler among the high
ranking grapplers in both the East and West camps.
