Abstract

David Speken was born on the 28th of July, 1908 to Ralph and Tillie Speken. David played football for the University of Denver from 1927-1930, except for 1929 for which there is no record of his playing. His statistics show him to be an excellent player--regularly leading the team in game and season metrics. Anecdotally, it is said that Hilltop stadium was referred to as, "The House/Stadium that Spek Built," due to the number of fans who came to see... him play. David Speken died on the 10th of May, 1962. He is buried in Pueblo, CO. Folder contains one photocopy of 1928 K-Book (DU Yearbook) page with a photograph of David Speken.
