V743 Sagittarii was discovered by Swope (1940). There has only been two other observations of the system by Plaut (1958), and Samec and DeWitt (1989). BVRI observations ( 350 in each band) are reported here. These data were taken on May 13 to 20, 1991 with the 1.0 m Yale Reflector Telescope at Cerro Tololo InterAmerican Observatory in conjunction with a Ga-As PMT. Four precision epochs of minimum light were determined from the observations made during primary, 2448392.7142 (3), and 2448393.8205 (4) and secondary eclipses,2448392.8550 (8) and 2448393.6849 (6). Our transformations and de-reddening yielded a K0 spectral type for the Variable star. A period study was conducted, and the linear ephemeris, J.D. Hel Min I = 2447656.8629(24)d + 0.27663581 (6)E was calculated. Our simultaneous Wilson code solution gave a component temperature difference of 354K, a mass ratio of 0.314 and a fill-out of 11%. This system is very active and is experiencing major roving spot activity as shown by a comparison with our 1989 curves.
