Temple played ice hockey and baseball at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He played his freshman year at Boston College as a member of the hockey team, but the program was dropped before his sophomore season. He then played third base and outfield for the Boston College baseball team from 1929–1931.[2] He then briefly played in the Northeastern League before retired to teach in the Cambridge school system.
In 1950, Temple was named the successor to Freddie Maguire who left to take a job with the Boston Red Sox.[3] He coached the 1953 Eagles team to the 1953 College World Series, where they went 2–2 and finished 4th.
