His office is at Far Rockaway, N. Y. The family consists of two fine sons, sixteen and eighteen years. All of them were on hand to root for the Aggies when they played football in New York City last fall. Going back to Bowler’s football days, the Aggies in 1912 won from Trinity, Arkansas U., Austin Col- lege, Oklahoma U., Mississippi State, Tulane, 41-0, and Baylor, 51-0. Their only set-back was at the hands of one of that year’s greatest teams, the Kansas Aggies, by a score of 10-13. Living away from Texas so many years has not dimmed the high re- gard held for his A. & M. friends and for the institution by Sam Bowler. He had little hair on his head while a student at A. & M,, he has just as much today. As a matter of fact, he looks today like he might be able to go into a foot- bali game and more than hold his own. Sam Bowler is one living refu- tation of the statement made by some people that former football stars fail to make their share of the outstanding successes in later life.
