He became the first Bison to play in the North-South Senior All-Star Game, and according to Hall of Fame coach Sid Jamieson was one of the best midfielders he ever coached. Farver recorded 22 goals and 12 assists on that 1969 championship team, and he was named to the Penn-Del Lacrosse Association first team for the second straight season. Including one season of club lacrosse along with two varsity campaigns, he totaled 71 goals and 32 assists. A tremendous athlete with exceptional quickness, Farver also averaged 7.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in three seasons of varsity basketball. At the end of his senior year he won the Bison Club Award, presented to the senior athlete who best exemplifies the winning spirit of the University's athletic program, and the Humphreys Award as the top multiple-sport athlete.
