From my first ever edition of "The Bold, Brave Men of Archbold", about the 1949 season:
(Syracuse was down 7-47 late in a game they eventually lost by 21-47 to Fordham, who had been a major power in the pre-war era.)
"Ben gave Custis and most of the regulars the rest of the day off. Things looked like they would get worse when SU fumbled again but the back-ups held. An interception also led to nothing for the Rams. Fordham’s first punt of the game went out of bounds on the five yard line. Here came Syracuse’s only real moment of glory. George Davis, still playing despite that hand, (he'd broken it), “broke loose for a 95 yard run, a thing of beauty in the way of individual brilliance, to score Syracuse’s second touchdown. The Orange forwards tore a nice hole for him. He darted and twisted his way through the secondary, straight-armed past a defensive man and then out-sprinted his pursuers.” 56 years later, that’s still the longest run from scrimmage in Syracuse University history."
