SUMO RESULTS
Sixth Day
Chiyonoyama Loses
The last of the four top Yokozuna ranking giants
of the sumo ring was knocked out of the undefeated class in the New Year's
Grand Sumo Tournament at the Kokugikan Friday as Chiyonoyama fell victim
to underdog Futatsuryu.
This left Mitsuneyama, an Ozeki (second rank), who
defeated Shinobuyama, the only ranking grappler with a perfect record at
the close of the sixth day of the 15-day tourney.
Princess Chichibu, accompanied by Itoko Nashimoto,
a former Princess, Friday made one of her rare appearances at the matches.
