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.
