HIBERNIANS DOWN AGAIN
VALUABLE POINTS LOST TO CELTIC
Everything went according to form at Parkhead, Glasgow, where the Celtic beat the Hibernians by four goals to one.
That the better team won was unquestionable, but at the same time the Hibernians enjoyed very little luck. Shortly after the start a penalty kick was given against them for no very obvious reason, and later on Kennaway made what could be fairly described as a remarkable save to prevent a shot from Brady from entering the net.
The combined effect of these two incidents was that the Hibernians were two goals down at the interval, when they might easily have been standing 1-1. The scorers for the Celtic were Lyon from the penalty kick and Crum, who outwitted the defence single-handed before smashing the ball past Waugh.
Early in the second half Egan scored in a strong Hibernian rally, but Celtic's superiority was evident in the closing stages when Murphy and McGrory put them further ahead. The Hibernians were best served in defence, where Waugh, Wilkinson, Munro, and Jones came out of a searching test with credit. As a combination the forwards were not impressive and individually only Ferguson appeared to be really dangerous.
There was an assurance and balance in the play of the Celtic reminiscent of their best days. Crum was outstanding in attack and Lyon in defence.
The attendance was about 4,000.
