Floyd Printz. Oregon Tech's stel
lar guard, was named on the third
team of the Junior College All
America team, but few besides
Paul Williamson, the football rat

Buried in an Oregonlan story
Friday was mention of Printz' se

ing question whether the St. Helens
lad was on the first or third team).
The Herald and News checked
with the Oregonian yesterday and
learned that Printz was named on
the third team of the mythical Jay

Apparently the story didn't move
to every member of the Associated
