Fruit Bearers.
On the goal line, which should be the full length of the room from the starting line, are laid as many oranges as there are contestants. At the signal, each contestant, supplied with a common brass pin, runs to the goal line, spears an orange with her pin and runs back to the goal line, all of which looks very simple in print! Try spearing a heavy orange with a pin, without any help from your free hand!
