Highland Park Best On Offense. The Little Giants seemed to be a little sharper on the offense throughout the game. However, when the chips were down they could not muster that added extra ounce of drive to make the yardâ€" age for a score, Twice during the game Highâ€" land Park was on the Waukegan 5 yard stripe but they could not push across into pay dirt. The Waukegan team did not work down very close to the Blue and White goal line during the â€"game. The work of Young, Dan Coleâ€" man, Heimerdinger and Ferrari was outstanding for the Blue and White while the spark plug of Waukegan proved to be Jerdee.
