Aberdeen 6 - 3 Hibernian

PATTILLO, the Dons' centre, with a hat-trick in successive weeks, has now scored eleven goals in five matches. He is the leading scorer in the North-Eastern League. The Dons beat Hibs 6-3 and are League leaders on goal average.

The Dons were the better team but they had to fight hard for victory.
The defence was not so steady as usual, and two the Hibs' goals were the result of lapses in the home rear. Gage, the Fulham goalkeeper, who deputised for Johnstone, opened nervously, but later played with confidence.
Cooper was a steady back, but Dyer was weak in tackling. The half-backs were not at their best.
Pattillo, although he missed chances, was a skilfull leader. Gourlay and Dryden on the left were a strong wing, but the right flank was weak.
Matthews gave grand display in the Hibs' goal. The backs and half-backs were stubborn fighters, while forward only the wing men, Gregal and Smith, impressed.
