Default Integrated 1873 Lafayette College Team

I have a large photo of the 1873 Lafayette College team. The mount is 14.5" x 11.25" with the photo itself 9.5" x 7.25".

The team featured Carlos Enrique Armijo, from Chihuahua Mexico. Israel Henry Supplee also looks a little bit darker than the other players, so I wonder if this team had two non-white players.

I have a bit of additional information on those two from the school (and small bios I found online pasted below the photos). "Carlos Enrique Armijo was enrolled at Lafayette as a Freshman in the General Science course for one year 1872-1873. His profession is listed as merchant. Israel Henry Supplee was enrolled in a Special Technical course and received a certificate. His profession was listed as Builder. He is also listed as having been a nominee for State Senator Pa in 1910. He died in Rosemont, PA on April 6, 1918."


If anyone has more info on the team or anyone on it, I would love to see it.

Thanks!
