| abstract | - Teetzel was born in Michigan in 1876. His father, William H. Teetzel, was a native of Canada who worked as a traveling salesman. His mother, Carrie Teetzel, was a native of Michigan. At the time of the 1880 United States Census, Teetzel was living with his parents and older brother, William H. Teetzel, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The family later moved to Chicago where the father worked as a salesman. Teetzel became a track star at Englewood High School in 1894. In 1895, Teetzel transferred to the Michigan Military Academy in Orchard Lake, Michigan, but returned to Englewood High School for his senior year in 1896. During his high school career, he won Illinois state high school championships in the 440-yard dash and 880-yard run, and finished in the top three in the 220-yard dash and the mile run. Teetzel also played football for Englewood. After leading Englewood to a 28–6 victory over rival Lake View, a Chicago newspaper wrote: "The playing of Teetzel was the feature of the game. The Lake View men seemed unable to stop him when he had the ball and hit their line for repeated gains. At one time he broke through the line of the opposing team and carried the ball 100 yards for a touchdown and made many runs of from thirty to forty yards." The Englewood school newspaper lauded his contributions as follows: "Clayton Teetzel, at Right Half Back, deserves considerable more space than we can allot to him. He is as good a player as Englewood High School has ever turned out, and is capable of playing on almost any college team in the country. A swift runner, dodger and exceedingly difficult to tackle, he hits the line with almost irresistible force. All the praise and flattery that he gets fails to make him conceited, which amount to a virtue in his case. He probably has carried the oval more yards than any other high school player in the country this year."
