' foursome.' My brother Alexander and Lord Colin 

 Campbell played against Tulloch and another, and it was 

 extraordinary how peppery they became. Tulloch and 

 his partner were being badly beaten, and when Tulloch 

 made some suggestion to his partner, the latter brandished 

 his club in the air and literally yelled out, ' No directions ! 

 I'll take no directions ! ' Tulloch used to complain that 

 an old story had come to be told of him. ' How is the 

 Principal getting on ? ' was asked of one of the caddies.

 Master of Eton, was one of the finest cricketers that Eton 

 and Cambridge ever turned out, and was a member of the 

 eleven which in 1878 lowered the colours of the hitherto 

 invincible Australian team. I cannot recall any University
