Career

Early career Schow started his career at Queanbeyan, in the Canberra Australian National Football League. He was joint winner of the Mulrooney Medal in 1950, at the age of 19. Also in 1950, Schow represented Canberra at the Brisbane Carnival.

Collingwood years A defender, Schow joined Collingwood in 1951 but had to wait until the 1952 VFL season to make his league debut, in the club's round 10 win over South Melbourne at Lake Oval. During the game he suffered a bruised thigh, which ruled him out of contention for Collingwood's next fixture. He didn't get another chance at senior level and instead played in the seconds for the rest of the season.

He then played for Sydney club St George from 1956 to 1958, as captain-coach for the last two seasons.

Schow was playing coach of Turner (now Belconnen) from 1962 to 1964.

He died from illness on 3 November 1988.
