Brothers United Against Racism: Alpha Phi Delta Brothers who played on the 1958 University of Buffalo football team were profiled on ESPN’s Outside the Lines in 2008. APD brothers on the football Team were Joe Oliverio, Nate Bliss (Belissio), Lou Reale, and Ray Paolini.
In that year, the football team won the coveted Lambert Cup, emblematic of supremacy in Eastern U.S. small-college football. That led to the team’s first bowl invitation, the Tangerine Bowl against Florida State University.
The Orlando Elks Lodge, sponsor for the bowl game, told the University that the team would be allowed to participate only if the two black players on the team did not play. Despite protests from the sponsor, the Athletic Association that operated the stadium where the game would be played refused to rescind the rule against integrated events.
The team stood behind the two black players and unanimously refused the bowl offer. Buffalo would not be invited to a bowl or be bowl eligible for another 50 years.
This courageous team was profiled on ESPN’s Outside the Lines in 2008.
Felix Infausto, '29, a very successful attorney, has endowed an Alpha Phi Delta Scholarship and is one of the first members of the Century Society, and has also endowed an ERICSA scholarship, the Felix Infausto award (click here).
