Edward William Hake (April 7, 1904 – September 12, 1978) was an American college football player.
Hake was born in Michigan in 1904. He attended West Catholic Preparatory High School in Philadelphia. He was a star tackle on West Catholic's football team.
Hake attended the University of Pennsylvania where he played football for the Penn Quakers football teams in 1926 and 1927. He was a consensus selection at the tackle position on the 1927 All-America team.[1] He was also elected as the captain of the 1927 Penn Quakers football team.[2] At the conclusion of the 1927 season, Penn head coach Lou Young said of Hake:
His courage, aggressiveness and determination to lead his fellow players to victory, made him stand out as one of the greatest football players that ever attired himself in a football uniform of the University of Pennsylvania. His excellent tackling and defensive work . . . paved the way for Pennsylvania to emerge victorious . . ."[3]
Hake also competed in wrestling and boxing at Penn.[2] [4]
In 1940, Hake was employed as an insurance broker and was living in Philadelphia with his wife, Celeste, and their son, Tucker.[5] He died of a heart attack, on September 12, 1978, in Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, at the age of 74.[6] [7]
