Frederick "Duke" Slater, a Clinton High School graduate, played football at the University of Iowa from 1918 to 1921. Although he helped to lead Iowa to an undefeated season in 1921, he never finished higher than second team All-American. Only later was the injustice corrected. Slater played professional football for a few years and earned a law degree from Iowa. He later served as a prominent judge in Illinois and remained a big supporter of Hawkeye athletics.
