Medfordtribunb srpaDntnrs Shearer Sparks Oakridge Hoop Triumph Over Crater Central Point An early fourth quarter surge, sparked by John Shearer, enabled the Oak ridge Warriors to turn back the Crater high basketball quint 55 to 52 here Saturday night. It was the second straight win for the Warriors over" the Comets but the Saturday night ruckus found the Crater gang greatly improved over Friday when it dropped a 38 to 30 verdict to the visitors.

Oakridge, aided by Wayne Clark's eight counters, got a 15 to 8 jump in the first quarter but Kay Kelley got two free Phoenix Raps Yreka 44-23 Phoenix Phoenix high got a big jump on the Yreka, Calif., cage quint and rolled on to a 44 to 23 win Saturday night at Yreka.

Layne, unranked in the heavy weightnclass and currently on the comeback trail, battered Neu haus' body, almost jacknifed him with a left hook to the stomach in the eighth and gashed his brow in the final session.
