How do you stop a charging elephant? You take away his credit cards—or, if you're playing in the World Elephant Polo Association's annual tournament, you give him a hip check with your own pachyderm. The WEPA invitational, played in Nepal since 1982, drew eight teams from around the world this year. For the third year running, Scotland lumbered off with the trophy. It's a victory the participants won't soon forget.
