Former Texas schoolteacher Mr. Wilton W. Cook has known the Key family for many years and positively identified a picture of R. F. (Ted) Key, UCLA fullback, as the real Ted Key. Key has been barred from the game facing accusations that he has assumed his brother's name and credentials.
Cook is positioned at an incline where he lies in bed, supported from behind his head by a pillow. He wears a striped pajama shirt and holds a large photograph of Ted Key in the middle of a football play.
Similar photograph appears with the article, "Friend Since Childhood Certain Star Not Clois," Los Angeles Times, 05 Nov 1935: A15.
