Bowman competed in football and track and field for the Syracuse Orange. He was a fast running back, and his coach was rumored to have made the football field wider to give him an advantage.
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.Long Branch Daily Record, June 1, 1936.
