It may still be trifle early 70 work up any excitement over the Olympic Games of 1892, but it is worth noting that the background for the big athletic carnival at Los Angeles already is being painted with thoroughness and attention to detail unsurpassed in the history of the games
 It is making no idle prediction to say that Los Angeles of 1892 will outstrip anything that Stockholm of 1912. Ferris of 1924, and Am stcrdan1 Of 1928 had to offer.
 TH7 Dutch last year built an cd to scat 10000 and filled it for the main events. Los Angeles plans to enlarge it's huge bowl, the Coliseum, to seat 10500O and ex- poets to pack 'em in. These un- precedented expectations probably will be fulfilled, for there is no kecner track and field center in the world that the southern Cali IOfnla meIrOpOllS.
 Nearby the coliseum, in exposition park, the swimming pool is to be built, with grandstands for 25000 The auditorium, seating around H. GOO, will be used for boxing and wrestling. The inner channel" of Los Angeles harbor furnishes a likely site for the Olympic regatta and stands along it's banks will . erected to seat anywhere from 10000 to 10000.
 When the games were first awarded to Los Angeles, the criti $ shook their heads and asserted it would be a bust" that European nations would not or could not Ii nance expeditions at so great distance for their best talent. They recalled the St. Louis games of 1904 which amounted largely to qualification of the American ath- lete. Now, however, there seems no doubt that the main contending nations will send the strongest teams they can assemble. The en- thuSiasm of Los Angeles for the games has spread to Germany, Fin land, England, Canada and the ether countries eager to follow up the conquests they scored at Am sterdam. Japan, China and the Orient will find greater encourage ment than ever to take part in the world championships. So will the South American nations, eager to cement the bonds of athletic rivalry in the Western Hemisphere.
 In short, California figures to put on the greatest Olympic show of all time to make more convinc- ing it's hold upon the development of sports interest and activity.
 Football loses one of it's most pie turesque performers this year through the failure of Father. Lumpkin, the big Texas fullbacz, to return to Georgia Tech. A pow erful runner, he was big star in several of Techs notable victories last year, but the Tornado still has brace of capable ball-carriers to count on in Warner Mizell and Stumpv Thomson.

Of AIRPORT PLAN

start the municipal airport for Wash
ington. It is known that Senator
Bingham and Representative Underhill
told the President that they would like
TO get the bill out on the floor of the
Senate and House as soon as possible
and assured him that the sentiment Of
both houses appears to be favorable.
It Is understood that they expressed
some fear that probably some diflculty
might be met In the House in getting
a place on the legislative program for
this bill, but when the tariff bill is out
Of the way the airport legislation may
be given a chance.
1t is understood that the President
assistance was urged in getting the
House rules committee to agree to a
definite time for the consideration of
this airport legislation. It is stated at
the White House, however, that the
President, while deeply interested in the
subject and anxious to see Washington
have an active municipal airport, did
not commit himself during his confer
ence yesterday with Senator Bingham
and Representative Underhill.
While the President may not feel in
clined to use the weight Of his Office to
force this legislation on the Congress at
this time. those who have discussed the
subject generally with him have every
reason to know that he is especially
anxious to see the plans for this airport
materialize. Moreover, the President
would like to see the Washington air
port serve as a model of its kind for
the rest Of the country and would like
to see it completed without any un-
necessary delay.

PRESIDENT ASKS
LEGAL OPINION
Wants to Know Whether
Mississippi Flood Control
Has Been Decided.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover has asked Attorney
General Mitchell for legal opinion as
to whether the plan and method of
Mississippi River flood control have not
already been conclusively determined by
the flood control act and the executive
decisions of President Coolidge issued
pursuant to the terms Of that act.
In making this announcement yes
terday in response to inquiries of news
paper correspondents, the Chief EYecu-
tive said q legal opinion was necessary
before the administration could 60 into
the merits or dement's of the sugges-
tionS made by a group Of Senators and
Representatives from the Mississippi
River Valley States.
These members of Congress recently
placed before the administration a BRIEF
requesting that the proposed contracts
for initiation Of work should be sus-
pended pending entire reconsideration
Of the plans and authorities under the
Jones act. In addition, they suggested
that the Government should purchase
fiowage rights over lands along stretches
of the river where there is to be no adj
ditional water flow out Of the main
channel.
WIN respect 10 l0S IITSL SuRSeStlOlts
Mr.. Hoover called attention to the fact
that the special engineering board set
up to decide between the Mississippi
River commission and the Jadwin
plan had decided in favor of the Jad-
win plan and that its recommends
ton had been promulgated by a def
mite order issued by President Cool
idge.
AS to the other proposition, the
President said that where the United
States was required by law to purchase
land or howags or pay damages, this
would be done. He added that moneys
had been scheduled for such payments
out of funds thus far appropriated.
The brief Of the Mississippi Valley
members of Congress recently was re-
ferred by the President to Secretary
Good, since the flood control work is
to be prosecuted under the direction
of the War Department. He is to study
the whole proposition and report to Mr..
Hoover.
Before the President made his state
ment, the administrative board OF the
American Engineering Council. in ses-
sion here. denounced the Jadwin plan
of control as arbitrary and unwise,'
