Mustang Soccer Team have been working out on Sunday afternoons for the past six weeks loosening up the winter kinks and getting ready for their first game of the spring season which will be next Sunday, April 13 at their home field on the Mc Henry American Legion grounds on Ringwood road. Game starts at 3 p.m. Not only is this the first game of the 1969 season but more important - it is the Mustangs first game as members of the Illinois Soccer association and the National Soccer league. Until now the team has been alternating between Crystal Lake and Rockford - playing friendly games but not league games. In January of this year they felt they were ready to make a try for it and joined the league. From now on they will be playing only other league teams from Chicago, Elgin, Aurora, etc. Next Sunday's game will be against United of Chicago.

Last spring excited Indians near Cass Lake, Minn., reported seeing eagles that were neither bald nor golden. They were red-tailed andpurple. The birds were snared and painted last year on the Unio County Waterfowl Refuge near Ware by Frank Ligas of Tavernier, Fla., a research biologist with the National Audubon society. Ligas is again working on his research project -- reason for the declining laald eagle population -- and has been catching and painting eagles on the refuge since February. Marking the birds aids in determining their traveling habits. Conservatory sts throughout the country aife concerned by the serious decline in the number of bald eagles, according to Illinois Department of Conservation officials. The birds' nesting success has decreased and there is indication the use of DDT may be responsible. The insecticide acV^Ajlates fish, an important K^^^cyxUie eagles, and is ingesteMSfc' Q birds when they eat Ligas' snare is a m< tion of a devitie used by coners to catch hawks. He ties 25 to 30 loops of 8-pound test nylon leader to a 14- by 24- inch envelope of welded wire. When the eagle steps on the snare to eat the bait, a dead goose or rabbit secured there, one of the loops draws tight around a claw. Ligas covers the head of the snared bird to calm it. Then he weighs the eagle and measures , its bill, wingspan and tail, its body and longest claw. He paints the tips of the tail feathers a fluorescent red or orange and marks the undersides with a purple dye. Then the bird is banded and released. The markings can be seen for more than a mile. Ligas says eagles are no threat to the goose population. A bald eagle will not knock down a goose. An eagle will fly over a flock of feeding geese and flush them. If a sick or injured goose remains on the ground after the others have left, the eagle will land within a few feet of it. If the goose has enough life left to put up a fight, the eagle usually leaves. George Arthur, staff waterfowl biologist for the Department of Conservation, claims that the bald eagle is no match for a healthy Canada goose. "A goose will deliver a terrific wallop with a wing," Arthur said. " Bald eagles have the utmost respect for the fighting ability of a goose." A few golden eagles winter in southern Illinois. These birds can and sometimes do bring down flying geese. "During the four years I have worked on this project," Ligas said, "twice I have seen a golden eagle drop out of the sky to hit and kill a flying goose. But we don't consider the golden eagle a danger to the geese. We like to think of the eagles as a clean-up squad, picking off the cripples that would die anyway." Catching eagles is a difficult, frustrating job. Ligas snared eight in 1967 and 1968 and this year his score is five. Many of the eagles will fly up the Mississippi river valley when they migrate north to nest. Anyone seeing an eagle with purple undersides and red or oranged-tipped- tail feathers is urged to report when and where he saw the bird to his county conservation officer.
