Clyde Gobel Alwood (January 1, 1895 – August 14, 1954) was an American college basketball standout for Illinois in the 1910s.
He married twice in his life, his first marriage was to Martha Amy Hargitt and his second was to Doris Jean Keifer.
As a junior, Alwood maintained his starting role with an Illini team that finished in second place in the conference with an overall record of 13 and 3.
Alwoods' senior season, while playing for hall-of-fame coach Ralph Jones, brought the Fighting Illini an additional Big Ten Conference championship.
The season brought two prestigious awards to Alwood, the Big Ten Medal of Honor, given to the one student-athlete from the graduating class of each university who had “attained the greatest proficiency in athletics and scholastic work”,[1][2] while also being named a consensus All-American.
