Hewson began his college career playing for Doggie Julian at Muhlenberg in 1942, while also playing football for the Mules. The next season, under the Navy's wartime V-5 training program, Hewson trained and competed for Bucknell in both sports. After his training, he was sent to Temple to become a Navy dentist and suited up for his third school in the two sports.[3]
From 1949 to 1952, Hewson served in the United States Army Medical Corps and deployed to Europe as part of the occupation after World War II. During this time, he coached and played basketball. He became a captain.[4]
