Opening at home, the Owls lost to Lehigh, 46-29. Two away meets followed, the Cherry and White losing to Swarthmore, 50-24, and Lehigh at Bethlehem, 42-32. Penn State ' s mermen defeated the Templars, 52-23. Coach Frank Wiechec, athletic trainer of the University, was inducted into the Navy on the day of the final meet. His 1943 squad racked up the best record in Temple ' s history—seven wins and a loss. Captain Ed Carroll featured the season by his work, totaling 26 points in freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke races to be high-scorer. Ray Reiff, diver, was second in scoring, going undefeated for twenty points. The relay qua rtet was also unbeaten.

Powerful Navy took first honors but the Owls gave a fine performance and came in fourth. Captain Ray Reiff came in fourth in the all-around; Eugene Park took second on the side horse; Sidney Hantman, t he Owl ' s rope-climbing entry, came in eighth, and josh Lipschultz, the only senior member, performed on the flying rings.
