Mainoumi was picked up off of the dohyo 3 times by the
much larger Kotonowaka, but Mighty Mite wouldn't give up,
and finally tripped his opponent to go to 6-2.  Tomonohana
showed his power as he really took it to Musoyama, who 
could only try defensive moves to hang on til he was
flipped by the ex-teacher.  Musashimaru and Wakanohana
both go to 8-0, and so far haven't gotten much of a 
challenge from other rikishi.  Takanohana, though, is
very hesitant and defensive lately.  His chances for the
promotion are now gone again, and he's back to starting
over.
