BERKELEY WINS THE GAME. University of California and Wash ington Volunteers Line Up
 the College Campus.

BERKELEY, Oct. S.-The college team of the University of California and a team from the Washington volunteers faced each other this morning upon the college football field. Unfortunately the rain had completely spoiled the ground. Playing went on in an inch or two of mud. The army men showed up in good form against their opponents, the differ ence in weight being largely in their favor. They failed, however, to carry on a strong aggressive game, and as a result the ball most of the time was in their own territory. During the first half Berkeley managed to get the ball over the line once, but after that no points were made. The game at the close stood 5-0 in Berkeley's favor.
 The linup of the two teams was as follows.

1 probable that he will enter upon the dis charge of that duty within the next three or four days. A mastering officer will be detailed, but he has not yet been chosen. The mastering will proceed as fast as the men are accepted in accord ance with the suggestion Of Major Jan sen, brigade inspector. Surgeons and mastering officers for the other brigades will shortly be announced.
 At the coming session of the LegiS- lature there will be considerable legisla- tion proposed for the advancement of the Guard and the placing Of it on a basis equal II not superior to any National proposition to codify all the laws in re- lation to the Guard so that it may have an intelligent text book, the laws of the several States of the Union being examined with a view to culI from them and incorporate in the State laws much that has been found to be of advantage in other States.
 There will be a proposition to do away with the biennial election of officers and in lieu thereof men, when elected, are to hold during good behavior and compe- tency and to be retired for age, as in the regular army. 1t is argued in favor of this that the officers will be far more effi- cient than when changed every two years as is often the case.
 It is proposed to apply for an appropri- ation of about 5000 to secure a field out fit for the signal corps so that it may have the same appliances for field work that there is for that branch of the ser vice in the regular army. This will in- graph service and for telephone service, gas pipe poles in sections and such ap- paratus as is requisite in the telegraphic branch of signal work.
 An effort will also be made to provide for the payment of the men when ordered to camp of instruction. In the past men have been ordered to an eight or ten day camp and the majority of them have, during that time. had to lose their wages or salary. 1t is proposed to have the Legislature do as is done in Massachu- setts and other States. allow the men g per day for every day that they perform the duties that will be required of them.

 The shaker works by electricity, and the motion-or commotion-is produced by a series of wheels of different diameter and different shakes rattling underneath the plat form The victim is at no time shaken more than two inches in one direction, but the feeling is such that he thinks he is being tossed around from one side of the street to the other.
