NWA Pilot Takes Up Sumo
TOKYO, Mar. 13 - A Northwest Airlines pilot has taken
up the popular Japanese grunt and groan sport of sumo wrestling.
Russell Laboda who frequented sumo matches on his
plane stops in Tokyo found the sport "very interesting" and decided to
try his hand.
On his off duty hours he goes to the training quarters
of Terukuni, the grand champion, where he dons a colorful ceremonial apron
and cavorts himself in the ring.
Declaring that "the more I like it the better I
get," he is making steady progress.
