Dundee 4 - 1 Aberdeen

A crowd of about 2000 attended this match at Dens Park, Dundee, last night for the benefit of George Langlands the home forward. Play ruled very equally at the outset, but the Dundee players gradually gained the upper hand, and a penalty against Wilson was converted by Langlands. The home halves played a very effective game, and King was busy. Towards the close he was beaten by a good effort from Satterthwaite. Half-time:- Dundee, 2; Aberdeen,0.
Walker, the Aberdeen inside right, narrowly missed on resuming, and for a time the home defence was pressed. The Dundee wings were inclined to neglect the centre, who took advantage of a nice ball he got from Philip. He shot from thirty yards out, and King was well beaten. Not long afterwards he scored the fourth goal. Through slackness on the part of Hussan, Main got past Lyall. Result:- Dundee, 4; Aberdeen, 2.
