When an ill Babe Ruth could not lead the Yankees to the World Series in 1925, college football took center stage at Yankee Stadium that fall. The fiercely competitive Army–Notre Dame rivalry game moved there and remained through 1946.

The Army–Navy Game was played on November 28 at the Polo Grounds in New York City, Army won 10–3.
