The Elusive Goal.
There are two men and one girl to each team, the men being the horses and the girl their driver. The horses stand side by side, their “inside” hands joined. The driver stands behind them, and their “outside” hands are held by her as reins. It is emphasized that no matter what happens they are to keep each other’s hands. All the teams are lined up at the starting line, with the horses facing the goal. All contestants are then blindfolded, horses and drivers alike. They are all turned completely around three times, and at a signal they start running to the goal, fifty feet away. They need not return to the starting point. It would be quite useless to ask them to do so. Try to realize the difficulties of three people bound together, all of them blindfolded, all of them hurrying, and all of them having different ideas as to the place to which to hurry.
