On Wings of Speed
There was confidence the Hearts' rear. Watters in goal did his work cleanly and crisply. His backs were sound, while the visiting halves never waited for the ball. In McFarlane and Walker, Hearts have two of the speediest wingers in the game. McCrae and Conn were excellent supports, and Aikman a centre of whom more will be heard. G. Johnstone did not always inspire confidence in the Aberdeen goal. D. Johnston was weak at right back. Taylor was the best half-back, and only Pattlllo and Williams impressed forward.Source: Press & Journal, 25th June 1945
