College Sumo Men To Hawaii

    TOKYO, Mar. 11 - Japan's 15 college sumo (Japanese wrestling) champions and two coaches will visit Hawaii to compete with Hawaiian wrestlers, Liberal Diet member Hanji Ogawa, president of the Collegiate Sumo Federation said.
    Ogawa said he has received an invitation from Mamoru Kobayashi of the Hawaii Sumo Association to send a Japanese delegation.
    Ogawa made the arrangement with sports leaders in Hawaii when he stopped over at Hawaii on his return from the United States and Europe last month.
    If arrangements are made as expected, the team will leave Japan on June 8, Ogawa said.
