Notre Dame
Farragher, despite his disability, proved a standout on Notre Dame's football team and was widely praised for his versatility. In 1901, the Notre Dame Scholastic observed that Farragher "made possible many gains for our backs by his ready way of opening up a hole in the line". The yearbook added: "Farragher was one of the mainstays of the team both on offensive and defensive work. In his position as tackle he has but few equals in the West. Jim rarely failed to gain when given the ball, and was a hard man to down when once started".
When his career on the gridiron ended, he remained in South Bend, Indiana, where he became a popular campus police officer. While it remains unclear whether Farragher ever served as head coach of the Notre Dame football team, his name began to appear in official school histories in the 1930s.
