The Orangemen finished a fine season in Philadelphia's Muncipal Stadium (as it was known before the Kennedy assassination) by nipping the Miami Hurricanes, but in hindsight it was a sad occasion. It was the last college game played by Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis, and as it turned out, the last game he ever played. Drafted by the Washington Redskins and traded to the Cleveland Browns before the start of the 1962 season, Davis developed a severe case of leukemia and was dead by the Spring of 1963.
