The University agreed to have the group represent the University in a football game versus the Illinois Wesleyan provided the boys finance themselves.

The first football team representing the University competed in Bloomington in 1890 with Williams playing multiple roles as team captain, quarterback and coach.

The UI team lost several other games after that but emerged the Illinois Intercollegiate Football League champion after that.
