AI notes: The 1939 Notre Dame vs. Army football game, played on November 4 at Yankee Stadium in New York City, was a tightly contested defensive battle that ended in a 14–0 victory for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish capitalized on key turnovers, including a pivotal fumble recovery by Finneran that set up a touchdown, and a critical connection between quarterback Stevens and Arboit that produced another score. Notre Dame’s defense dominated throughout, shutting out the Cadets and preventing any scoring opportunities, while their strategic execution on offense allowed them to control the pace of the game. This victory contributed to Notre Dame’s strong 1939 season, in which they finished with a 7–2 record and were ranked No. 13 in the final AP poll, cementing the game as a memorable matchup in the storied Notre Dame–Army rivalry.
