Bowman competed in football and track and field for the Syracuse Orange.[3] He was a fast running back, and his coach was rumored to have made the football field wider to give him an advantage.[2]
On May 31, 1926, Bowman was found "slumped behind the wheel of his automobile in a garage near his home," dead of an apparent heart attack.[4]
