His football, his sudden geniality (he had been seen, it was asserted, at one of Med-Tetloe's revival meetings with, of all people in the world, Bunning), his air of being able to do anything whatever if he wished to exert himself, here was a character indeed--so wonderful that it was felt, even by the most patriotic of Saulines, that he ought, in reality, to have belonged to St.Martin's.
It became at once, of course, a case of rivalry between Dune and Cardillac, and it was confidently expected that Dune would be victorious in every part of the field.
Cardillac had reigned for a considerable period and there were many men to whom he had been exceedingly offensive.

Dune, although he admitted no one to closer intimacy, was offensive never.

If, moreover, you had seen him play the other day against the Harlequins, you could but fall down on your knees and worship.

Here, too, he rivalled Cardillac.

Tester, Buchan, and Whymper were quite certain of their places in the University side--Whymper because he was the greatest three-quarter that Cambridge had had for many seasons, and Tester and Buchan because they had been at Fettes together and Buchan had played inside right to Tester's outside since the very tenderest age; they therefore understood one another backward.
