““Such an assignment in the brief, under points and authorities, does not preserve anything for our review. It wholly fails to comply with rule 1.08 (a) (3), (Now Civil Rule 83.05(a) (3)) which requires the brief to contain, ‘The points relied on, which shall specify the allegations of error, with citation of authorities thereunder.’ Appellant has wholly failed to specify any allegation of error. It is impossible to discern from the assignment what point appellant wishes to present.””
