EMPEROR TO ATTEND SUMO MEET TUESDAY
The Emperor will attend a Grand Sumo Tournament for
the first time since he ascended the thrown next Tuesday afternoon when
he is tentatively scheduled to visit the Kokugikan Arena at Kuramae, Asakusa,
Tokyo.
The Emperor, an avid Sumo fan, has followed with
great interest the Sumo tourneys by television.
Top yokozuna championship favorite Chiyonoyama went
down before the furious on rushes of underdog Annenyama Thursday in the
biggest upset of the current Summer Grand Sumo Tournament midst the wild
cheers of a capacity Kokugikan crowd.
By his amazing triumph, Annenyama evened the count
with Chiyonoyama who defeated him in their only previous clash in the spring
tourney in Osaka.
Chiyonoyama's setback left only Tochinishiki and
Kagamisato, who won their matches, as the only Yokozunas to remain undefeated
as the fifth day of matches were concluded.
