By PAUL ZIMMERMAN (Associated Press Sports Writer) LCS ANGELES, Cal, April 19.— A five million dollar Olympic games setup, the lavishmess of which the world has never known before, awaist only the finishing touches to be ready for the international contests which will open July 30. The Olympic village, to consist of ; 800 buildings erected at an esti- Mated cost of $500,000, is the chief bit of work the organizing commit- | tee, which has been operating for eight years, has left undone. The swimming stadium, which will seat 10,000 persons, at a cost of ilzs.ooo, is nearing completion. The rowing course at Long Beach is now being dredged. The marathon course has yet to be surveyed and laid out. The cycling track in the Pas- adena Rose Bowl is under con-| struction. Practically Feady Otherwise the facilities for the ) Xth Olympiad sufficient to permit 4 dally attendance of 400,000 per- | Sons, are ready to be turned over| to the Internatianal committee to- MOrTOW. | ‘The Olympic stadium, pivotal point, where the greater share of | the events will take place, is pad- locked, ready to swing open whcn‘ President Hoover makes his proc- lamation. Here will be staged the ceremo- nies, the track and field champion- | ships, the gymnastics; the demon-| stration football and lacrosse; games; and finals of the eques-| frian and field hockey events.

Equestrian Events Stands and accommodations for 100,000 will be available at the row- ing course when it is ready. Addi- tional stands, increasing the capa- city to 20,000, will be constructed for the equestrian events. The Rose Bowl, where the cycling track is being built, seats 86,000. Ten theu- sand can witness the events at the Olympic auditorium. Under present pians, the entire |layout, including the village, will be ready by July 1, although final preparations could be completed within 30 days if necessary.
