Falkirk 0 - 0 Aberdeen

Falkirk concluded their Second League fixture at Brockville Park, when their visitors were Aberdeen. The weather was unfavourable, and the ground was in a sorry condition. In the first half the game was equally contested, but for the greater portion of the second half play was confined to Aberdeen territory. The visitor's defence was frequently in difficulties in restraining the Falkirk efforts to score. They succeeded, however, in achieving this, and the game ended in a draw - no scoring. By securing this additional point, Falkirk take second place on the League table.

The Aberdeen premiere team visited Falkirk on Saturday to meet the Bairns in a League contest. The weather was most inclement, and the attendance was some what a meagre.
The teams were:- Aberdeen: Macfarlane; Murray, Brebner; Wilfred Low, Strang, Henry Low; Harvey, G. McNicol, Robertson, McAulay, Edgar. Falkirk: Pettigrew; Leishman, Millar; Scott, McPherson, Mitchell; Graham, Cameron, Connolly, Queen, Campbell. Referee - Mr. Gartshore, Kirkintilloch.

Aberdeen started promisingly, a foul off McPherson allowing them into close quarters, where Robertson had are creditable shot, which was a trifle high. On the soft ground the players cut some amusing figure's. The visitors did not long have it their own way, for within a few minutes Macfarlane's charge underwent a narrow escape, as the result of fine work by Connolly, who twice in succession had good tries. Millar was a tower of strength in the home defence, his tackling and kicking being all that could be desired. Footwork was fairly good, considering the condition of the ground, but the players could take little liberty. As the game progressed Aberdeen became more prominent, McAulay and Edgar footing in some fine work on the left. There was little to pick between the teams, Aberdeen having quite as much of the play as the homesters. McAulay and Edgar were acquitting themselves with credit, a shot from the latter just missing by inches. For a time the Northerns kept the full cook defence on tenterhooks, Robertson leading on his men in a masterly fashion. A corner kick conceded by Brebner looked dangerous, but Henry Low anticipated the ball in its progress goalwards. Relief was only momentary, however, were in a twinkling Campbell had tested Macfarlane with a beauty, which the custodian saved in brilliant fashion.

For a quarter of an hour of the second portion Falkirk were never away from the Pittodrie goal, and Macfarlane's abilities were severely tested. Shots by Connolly, Queen, and Campbell were all saved in rare style. A corner fell to Aberdeen, but nothing fruitful resulted, and at the other end Macfarlane saved from Queen. Aberdeen got back there wind, and exercised a deal of pressure.
