Mainichi, Nichi-Nichi and Asahi long dominated the Tokyo and Osaka fields. In 1930 a potential rival, Hochi (News), passed into the hands of the man whom Motoyama's death left sitting on Japan's journalistic throne. He is Seiji Noma, "The Magazine King."

Last week, with only the Lawrenceville tie this year and a Lawrenceville beating last year to mar its record, Hill beat Hotchkiss 12 to 0.
