No Respect for Champs

    Up-and-coming sumo wrestlers had no respect for Grand Champions as both Azumafuji and Terukuni were thrown in the second day of the 15 day spring tournament.
    Azumafuji was given such a jolt by Kamikaze that he withdrew from the tourney with a wrenched thigh.
    Grand Champion Haguroyama and Champion Chiyonoyama displayed their class, however.
    Matches are being held daily at the stadium at Kuramae on Avenue "R" near Asakusa. Feature bouts for the day begins about 2 p.m. and ends around 4.30 p.m.
