Harvard will compete in the varsity division. The first event will be the "Happi Bagh" (elephant run), which is a sprint. Then comes the "Poni Cohn" (water thief), in which the elephants must carry a bucket of water in their trunks without getting the mahouts...

Stripped to the bare essentials-a naked steel frame, a bucket seat, racing tires, a "go pedal," and sometimes a drag parachute for braking-the "Double A-ers" are such specialized machines that they cannot even get started without a push...
