was kicked out Of every school 1
went TO. I guess / was just a bad
boy. Then I finally realized q fell
low couldn't get any place In this
world without a college education.
I'd fumbled my chances and then
I realized I probably wouldn't get
into a university without paying
tuition money, which I didn't have,
unless I played football"
In confirming his sons state
ments, the elder Key said ne had
warned his so he couldn't get By
with It,"
The father OF Clois and four other
sons, Otis. Earl, Roy and Ted, ana
two daughters, said he had done
only what amy father would have
done for his SON"
The elder Key disclosed Coach
Bill Spaulding had made 1t possible
for him to obtain his job as a night
Waterman.
I'm terribly sorry about the
whole business" said Clos Key.
I'm going to Las Cruces. N. NJ. at
least for q time, TO stay with q
friend who run a chicken ranch"
Obviously crushed, the elder Key
frequently referred to his son aS
Ted" explaining 1t had become
habltual.
MY son wanted an education"
he said. 1--WE known all along that
1t was not right-and I told him 20.
But / stood by him because he
wanted 10 get an education and I
wouldn't put anything In his way"
Dad Speaks Up
Then the father told OF his sons
enrolment ut Urban.
When he took the name OF Tex
Names there I got a hold Of him
and put a stop TO IL. I told him
that If he wanted me 70 stick by
him he'd have TO keep the family
name.
The next fall he came back from
Mexico and told ME about this 9TH
er Key who had given him his high
school credentials. Again ! warned
him that he couldn't get by with 1t.
Il told him 1t would work out
all right as long as he didn't amount
TO anything nd told him the min
ute he started getting mis- name In
the headlines II would be all off.
But he wanted to take q chance or
it and I finally let him go ahead"
Il was going 10 protect him to
the end. Last Friday I met Dean
Earl j. Miller for the first time.
I introduced myself to him because
Ted talked to me about hi.h.
I'm glad 20 meet you he said,
because I want to clear up a little
matter Then he asked me II my
boys name was Ted or Clos. / told
him 1t was Ted.
"And then last Monday CLOS
came to me and said:
dad, it's all up. They've got
me-"
The father said he told CLOS then.

ton staged BY Dean Miller revealed.

of the matter.
Even II they find you eligible.
said the elder Key, you go TO Bill.
turn In your equipment, and tell
him the truth.
"rHe's too fine a man I said. Hes
been too good to you and me. You've
got to be square with him"
He said Spaulding had made It
possible for him tc get his job as
a Waterman and CLOS has lived with
him here while he went to school.
Too Many Teds
James Key said the r. Y. CTed)
Key OF Amarillo, Texas. was his
Youngest son but said he didn't
know anything about the Key whose
credentials CLOS used.
Robert Vaughn, superintendent OF
schools at Panhandle, he said, was
an old friend Ct the family but
fastened TO explain that he, OBJ
had no idea Clois was US
ing snothers credentials
Coach Spaulding was stunned by
the news.
The way Ted and his father
stuck together" he said, "Id have
sworn he was q. K"
But he recovered his poise and in
. minute was turning the situa-
ton into O joke or himself.
"As 1t turned out, 1t looks as II
TIM not much Of q coach or else /
would have had a smart fellow like
Ted In there calling the signals. IN
al due respects to Bill Murphy
whom I think Is q great quarterback
We might not have lost q game. Any
me who can put one over like that
must be good"
Announcement was expected from
Provost c. T. Moore Of u. G. l. A.
as TO whether Key would
De allowed to remain IN school, but
I was considered probable that he
would be expelled promptly.
The problem OF what would be
lone IN regard to the FORGETTING Of
e. L. AS victories over Utah Ag-
yieS, Oregon State, Stanford and
Oregon also may be decided Frid-v
although Hugh G. Willett, Univer-
iity Of Southern California profess
or and chairman OF the Pacific
Coast Conference faculty commit
ee. said he doubted If the schools
would accept the ~fcrfeits.
II was pointed out that Stanford
