A bruising runner on the gridiron, Farbstein ran for over 100 yards in a game six times, including a 206-yard effort against Gettysburg in 1971 that was the third-best single-game total in school history at the time. He rushed for 1,752 career yards, which was also No. 3 on Bucknell's list at the time. He was named to the ECAC All-East and AP All-Pennsylvania teams in 1972. Also a standout in track and field, Farbstein set a school record in the discus and won that event at the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships in 1971. He came to Bucknell from Plymouth-Whitemarsh (Pa.) High School.Â
