Queen's Outclassed at Hampden.
MILLS GETS TWO GOALS.
These clubs carried through at Hampden Park last night the League fixture abandoned in December owing to fog. The attendance was the smallest of the season. There could not have been more than 1500 present. Aberdeen had Armstrong and Robertson in the attack, while Queen's included J. McKelvie, a reserve player, in the half-back line. The game proved a drab, uninspiring affair. For this Queen's were entirely to blame. They could not rise above stodgy mediocrity, and Aberdeen won as they liked. The Amateurs were beaten within twenty minutes, during which the home defenders, goalkeeper and two backs, each made a fatal mistake.Poor Attempt.
G. Smith made a poor attempt to save an eighteen yards drive by Mills, the ball travelling under his body as he got down to it. The right back, Campbell, was blameworthy when Beynon brushed past him to register a splendid second goal with a slanting shot into the far away side curtains. Finally, Dickson was bested close in by Love, who notched the third goal. It was a long time before Queen's forwards were seen, so effective was the marking of the Aberdeen defence, but after thirty-three minutes McLelland registered a good goal with a header following a fast centre by Crawford. Stewart, the centre-half, also deserved a goal with a forty yards shot which struck the crossbar and descended near the goal causing the few spectators to make a loud noise in demanding a goal. However, the referee witnessed the incident and refused a goal. A fourth goal for the Dons was scored by Armstrong after Love had placed the ball perfectly.Smith Shines.
Early after the resumption Stewart, the home centre-half, retired with a torn muscle. Queen's, however, played up brightly, due in some measure to the fact that Aberdeen were resting on their oars. Smith, the visitors' goalkeeper, effected several clever saves before Mills added a fifth goal for his side with a well-taken header from a corner kick. The further proceedings were wearisome. The Amateurs were simply outclassed. The defenders blundered in the early stages, and the forwards were always in the grip of the Aberdeen half-backs and backs. Aberdeen's play was of a nice close texture. Fraser was conspicuous at right half, while Mills and Beynon made a scheming left wing, with Armstrong a direct and profitable leader. Love was also clever on the right wing.Source: Press & Journal, 29th March 1934
