College football
J. G. Lowe was an end on M. B. Banks's Tennessee Volunteers of the University of Tennessee, captain of both the 1924 and 1925 teams. Lowe was the last to be elected captain of the football team in consecutive years until 2004. He was the younger brother of Chink Lowe. J. G. was selected All-Southern in 1925, an honor predicted by his brother. "Chink" once wrote "We practiced pretty hard today," he wrote. "The boys showed great improvement over yesterday, so I am somewhat encouraged. . . . J.G. showed up good today and altho he doesn't know it all, he seems sure of making the team. I believe he will run some one a good race for All Southern." J. G. was also selected a third-team All-American in 1925.
