By Morris Lipp.
Sam Francis will not play pro
fessional football, even tho he was
adjudged the first choice among
the collegiate standouts and was
awarded more honors than any
other All American in recent
years. Philadelphia Kagles held the
privilege of naming their selec
tions first of all professional
teams and quite naturally picked
Nebraska's versatile Sam Fran
cis. The offer of the Quaker city
pros was not high enough, Sam
admitted Saturday, to induce him
to give up a promising business
career when he graduates in June.
His refusal of the Kagles' bid is
a distinct loss to the spectacle of
pro ball and a boon lo the entre
peneur who secures the services
of Sam Francis.
Home from the recent Kast-Wesl
charity football game which the
Fust won 3 to 0, Sam reflected
that the Shrine classic lacked the
spectacularness that was appar
tit even in Big Six games. "There
were just too many good star
players who had been instructed
under too many different sys

ON CLASSIFICATION
How books are classified and
shelved is revealed in an exhibit
on display in the library of the
University of Nebraska. Classify
ing a book consists of placing it
on the shelves with other books
of the same subject matter.
The display illustrates the
method employed today in building

department: First, the book must
be received in the order depart

accession number and the marks
of ownership established; next
comes the preparation of a book
plate securing of printed index
cards, preparation of the author's
card, classifying and numbering
of the book, after which the book
is turned over to the reviser;
cards are typed and filed and the
book is then ready to be marked
and shelved for public use.
