HIGH SCHOOL
 BASKET BALL
 CHAMPS MEET

CHICAGO, March IA. - Schoolboy the country, winners of the champion ship of their section, will compete for the national high school title in the eighth annual national interscholastic basketball tournament to be held under the auspices of the University of Chicago next month, April 4 to z.
 The tournament, according to the plans announced today, will bring to- gether the largest field of schoolboy sectional champions ever assembled. Some of the teams will travel more than 1000 miles to compete.
 While the field this year is to be limited to thirty-two teams, especial efforts have been made to match lead CTS of widely separated sections, so that the finals will show the most representative teams of schoOlboys in the country Last year Lexington, Ky, high school carried off honors in competition with twentysix squads, defeating Mt. Vernon, Ohio in the finals. Rockford, H., and Hume Fogg High of Nashville, Tenn, won third and fourth places.
 One of the outstanding entries this year is the Passais, N. J., team which claims an unbroken string of 105 vic- tories. Another eastern leader is Naugatuck, Conn.,, recent winner over Crosby High, of Waterbury, Conn.,, the runners-up in the 1921 tournament. Lanier High, Macon, Ga, winners of the 1922 Southern title, and undefeat- ed this year, are expected to repre- sent that section of the south, while teams from Texas will come from the southwest.
 To enforce eligibility rules strictly, the University of Chicago has acted through State Associations of the west, to insure that all entrants are in good standing before they will be al lowed to compete.
 State organizations already have raised funds to send the winners of the Kansas and Tennessee tourna- ments. The visiting athletes will be guests here of the university frater. mites, with banquets and automobile trips on the entertainment program.
 A full size, triple-plated silver bas- ketball mounted on an ebony stand is the trophy to be awarded the title win ners, with gold watches for members of the winning team. Other prizes

MOVIES

"The Grim Comedian" will be re- peated at Empress Theater tonight. It is a good film, we'll worth seeing.
 ''The Invisible Power" a Goldwyn picture, by Charles Kenyon and direct ed by Frank Lloyd, is the feature play ing at the Empress Theater Thursday. is an expressing story of the under world, of real dramatic power. AL though the characters belong to the submerged tenth the story deals en- tirely with the efforts of a reformed convict to lead an honest life. The fact that he has once been in jail, makes him a marked man for the se- cret police; and his attempts at re- form meet with strange handicaps.
 House Peters is seen for the first time as a Goldwyn leading man, and his splendid performance in the role Of the regenerated convict is both ap- pealing and convincing. Irene Rich, as his wife, gives a poignantly sincere portrayal of the young mother whose self-sacrifice at last leads to her hus- bands name being crossed off the po- lice index for criminals.
