Clyde Williams was born in Shelby, Iowa. He played football for the University of Iowa under coach Alden Knipe. Knipe was a stern disciplinarian, and friction soon arose between Knipe and the older players of the 1898 Hawkeye football team. After Iowa started the season 1-4-1, Ralph Blackmore led the "Blackmore Revolt", in which five upperclassmen quit the team. Knipe simply started younger players, including Clyde Williams, who was a freshman at the time. With Williams at quarterback, Iowa finished the year 2-0-1, ending the season with a 6-5 victory over rival Nebraska. Nebraska had been heavy favorites and were coached by Fielding H. Yost.
