The sensational Ozeki (second ranking) Wakanohana Thursday proved that a good little man can beat a good big man in Japan's traditional sumo sport of muscular giants.
    Yielding 130 pounds weight advantage, the 223-pound wrestler in a superlative show of herculean strength and extraordinary skill hurled 355-pound Grand Champion Kagamisato onto the sandy circular ring to topple his foe from the ranks of the undefeated on the 12th day of the New Year's Grand Sumo Tournament at the Kuramae Kokugikan, Tokyo.
    The defeat of Kagamisato left the tourney without a high ranking contestant with a perfect slate. He is now tied with Tsurugamine with an 11-1 record. Wakanohana by virtue of his spectacular victory has a 10-2 mark.
Tochinishiki, another Yokozuna, suffered his fourth setback as he fell victim to Tokitsuyama.
    Meanwhile, Japan Sumo Association officials began studying possibilities of using photographs to determine the true winners of close bouts as in photo finishes of horse races. Pictures of Wednesday's match between Wakanohana and Yoshibayama clearly showed that the former won instead of the latter who was awarded the bout by judges.
