Former Temple and USA Soccer Great Walter Bahr Passes Away

PHILADELPHIA – Temple University mourns the passing of one of its all-time great men's soccer players Walter Bahr, who passed away today at the age of 91.

"Temple has had many iconic figures in the world of sport wear the Cherry and White, but none greater in their field of endeavor than Walter Bahr," said Temple Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time."

Mr. Bahr played for the Owls for three seasons, earning All-America status as a center halfback for Temple in 1944.
