CULLEN NOW LEADS
 COLLEGE PLAYERS
Dartmouth Captain Gets S
 Points in One Game

New York, Feb, ss.-femmy Gull len. nartmauih's captain has passed Jim Luther of Cornell in the race for the individual scoring henors of the Intercollegiate Basketball league, With an advantage of one game, the persistent leader of the big Green team has scored s7 points, IS points more than Luther,
 Luther had been leading the league for two weeks, and there were many among college basketball followers who felt his position secure for the remainder Of the tournament, In the Columbia game. on Washington's Birthday, Cullen contributed ?6 points to his teams victory. the highest number Of points made during a single game this year by league player.
 cnllen's performance in the Morn ingside gymnasium has revived hope among the Dartmouth undergraduates of Dartmouth mans winning The individual race, Not since 1912 has q Green player come through to first place.
 Luther ltcmaineu ltllc
 Luther has been idle all week and will get back into the game this af- tefnoon, when Cornell plays Prince ton in Tigertown. Cullen leads Luther in both foul baskets and ficld goals, The former Brooklyn schoolboy has made i3 field goals and II points from the foul line, while Luther is ..slsh tt.afl la foul goals.
 In the tournament year ago Gull len finished in third place behind Bill Grave of Pennsylvania and Arthur Loeb of Princeton. Luther, having played in one less game than his Dartmouth rival, ended the season in | fifth place with 100 points. Cullen scored 120 points.
 Arthur Loeb of Princeton at one | time this season led the league, but is losing ground gradually and is no longer considered a serious threat to either Luther or Cullen.
 Pite Leads in Fouls
 Sam Strong of Columbia stands sec- ond to Sam Pite of Yale in field goal shooting. Pite has made seventeen baskets from the floor and strom fourteen. Cullen and Luther are set ting the pace in the work from the foul line.
 Yale's defeat of Princeton on afternoon was the outstand- ing event of the weeks team play. Once again Yale won in the last few of play and once again Tale won by mere point. The New Haven team is now tied with Cornell for the league leadership.
 This afternoons game between Cor nell and Princeton will settle the fate of the defending champions. A defeat for Hill Zahns men will remove them from future possibilities and leave the outcome of the tournament between CornEl! and the determined Yale team.

EXPERTS DISAGREE
 ON HALEY'S AWARD
Billy Muldoon Is One Who Thinks
 Greb Beat Tunnty

New York. Feh. ss.-WheR off Dai decisions in boxing bouts in this state were legalixed under the Walker law. it was confidently predicted that thers would he an end to the usual differences Of opinion that were so freanest under the old order Of things. when newspaper wrltags gave the se-ealled popular" decisions, that sometimes proved so unpopular,
 But the official verdict in the bats tie between Harry Greb of Pittsburgh and Gene Tunney Of Greenwich Vil- lage in Madison Square Garden on Friday night appears to have preeipi- tated a regular avalanche of adverse comment. Some even went so far as to make the ridiculous assertion tha, Greb had been "jobbed" out Of his title.
 The Voice of Muldoan.
 Many thought the decision was a just one. But then such an authority as William Muldoon. high mogul of boxing in this state, is quoted as de- claring that he believed the decision was ''an unjust one" meaning of course that 1t was unjust to Greb.
 Muldoon. however. supplemented his assertion by saying that was merely his own personal opinion" and that the official decision rendered in the Garden on Friday night was made by the regular accredited officials of the boxing commission. and as such would stand. The matter, so far as the commission is concerned. is closed.
 But otherwise 1t is not closed. The great difference of opinion among those who attended the bout will force a return match between Greb and It begins to look as if this is one bout that it will take 20 or more rounds to determine unanimously which is the better man.
