Young Dons Have Hard Luck

Swinging Passes Pay at Firhill.

Aberdeen A were unfortunate to lose both points at Firhill.
At no time could Partick claim superiority, but they played a type of football which was more in keeping with the slippery nature of the ground.
Only late in the second half did the Alliance leaders take a leaf from their opponents' book and indulge in long, swinging passes, but Thistle were two goals in the lead by that time and could afford to concentrate more on defence.

Jackson in Form.

Despite the loss of three goals, little fault could be found with the Dons, their defence including as it did the best afield in Jackson. Thomson was the pick of the halves.
All the forwards played well, with McDermid engineering the majority of the attacks. To Love went the honour of the cleverest piece of play, his move of beating three men within half-a-yard being reminiscent of Alan Morton at his best.

Snappy Opening.

Each side scored within three minutes, Smith for Partick and McDermid for Aberdeen. Thistle regained the lead before the interval through Dickson, Aberdeen claiming strongly for off-side.
Ten minutes after the resumption Partick went further ahead through Smith, who scored in a goalmouth scramble. Five minutes later Armstrong capped a clever solo run by beating Wilson, and in another raid a header by the centre landed on the top of the net.
