AtD translation: the unspeakable business with the Rugby blue in hall

[Paul Cray]

Specifically, in the case of Rugby (Unoin) that the person played In the
Varsity Match (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Varsity_Match) for either
Oxford or Cambridge against the Other Place.

I don't have my copy of AtD to hand, but presumably something unspeakable
happened with a Rugby blue in the dining hall at an Oxbridge college.
