(AP) The tenth mod ern Olymplo games were opened this afternoon In 28 words by Vice Presi dent Charles Curtis, representing President Hoover, as 105,000 persons looked on and cheered. "In the name of the president of the United States, I proclaim open the Olympic game of Los Angeles celebrating the tenth Olympiad of modem era," said the vice president of the United States and the great est Olympiad of them all was a fact. gold to Capacity No such attendance ever marked the games since they were renewed at Athens In 1890. The Olympic stadium was sold to Its full ropfclty of 105, '000 seats. When the athletes of Greece, marching first because Greece Is the mother country of the Olympic games, led the parade of nations Into the stadium every seat was occupied and many more were standing. The parade of nations, requiring Just short of an hour to march around the track may be broken next week, Introduced bright costumes worn by officials and athletes and brought the spectators up cheering. The parade gave the band of 360 mu sicians a. chance to make the first new Olymplo record by playing with out a halt for 50 minutes. ' William May Garland In s few words extended the welcome of the United States, and In even fewer words, Vice President Curtis formally declared the games opened. Olymplo Torch Lighted As the vice president concluded, a ten-gun salute from 70 millimeter guns roared and the Olympic torch was lighted, the flames, which will burn throughout the games, shooting high above the stadium. ' A choir or 1.200 voices sang "of virile games by which the body's beauty la made to live once more." As the last note of the hymn died away a flag draped cage in the cen ter of the field waa opened and 3,000 pigeons sped away. The Olympic Uag, with five en twined colored circles, representing Che five continents In a common cause of good will, was raised and Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the University of California, deliver ed the dedloatlon address. The choir sang another sacred hymn before Lieutenant George C. Calnan. TJ. S. N, representing the united States for the fourth time In Olym pic games competition, took the Olym plo oath for all the nations. He said: For Honor nnd Glory "We swear that we will take part in the Olympic games In loyal oom petition, respecting the regulations which govern them and desires of participating In them In the true spirit of sportsman ship, for the hon or of our country and for the glory of sport." The standard bearers, In the order of the processional, with Greece at one end and the United States at the other, stood in a seml-clrcle be hind Lieut. Calnan as he repeated the oath, the naval officer speaking In a loud clear voice while the other athletes all stood with their right Hands raised. The processional was In the aame order as that followed in the parade. The great crowd remained seated as the athletes marched out to return to the Olympic village, which was a de serted village, during the opening ceremonies. As the last athlete of the big Unit ' ed States contingent left the stadium the pageantry waa over until the closing ceremonies August 14. In the between the athletes faced 10 days of world competition In It sports, Including 130 separate events. The parade of nations, while not the largest In the history of the mod' rn Olympics, waa the most apectac War and colorful. The crowd cheered at Intervals but at times the spec tators' seemed too impressed to give voice. Gertrude Plans Swim Comeback ' NEW YORK, July 80.
