TOKYO (UPI) - Thirty-four-year-old second ranking maegashira Dewanishiki pushed hard and scored an upsetting win Monday over ozeki (champion) Kotogahama in the second day bout of the 15-day Sumo Tournament.
    It was Kotogahama's second defeat in two days and he was thereby virtually eliminated as a candidate for the title. He was upset by fifth-ranking maegashira, Shionishiki.
    Yokozuna (grand champion) Tochinishiki, who is shooting for his second straight championship, barely saved himself from defeat by executing a neck throw to triumph over third ranking maegashira Iwakaze. The 25-year-old Iwakaze got a good hold and almost pushed the 34-year-old yokozuna out of the ring.
    Yokozuna Wakanohana also had a big scare when only his amazing strength in his legs prevented first-ranking maegashira Tsurugamine from shoving him out of the ring. Staving off Tsurugamine's desperate drive, Wakanohana pulled down with his arms and finally forced his opponent out of the ring for victory.
