The two sides first faced off in 1890 and have done so almost every year since then. Not even World War II could stop this game, which has not missed an installment since 1930.<\/p>\n<p>So in honor of the Army-Navy series, which is always intense even if the teams aren&#8217;t so great, here is a gallery of some of my favorite program covers from its history. Clicking on any program will take you to its place on the site and, of course, more can be found on the site.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1931\/12-12_army-navy.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1931\/images\/ncaaf-program_1931-12-12_navy-army.jpg\" alt=\"Army Cadets vs. Navy Midshipmen (December 12, 1931)\" width=\"600\" height=\"835\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1931, Yankee Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1940\/11-30_army-navy.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1940\/images\/ncaaf-program_1940-11-30_army-navy.jpg\" alt=\"Army Cadets vs. Navy Midshipmen (November 30, 1940)\" width=\"600\" height=\"836\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1940, Philadelphia Municipal Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1954\/11-27_army-navy.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1954\/images\/ncaaf-program_1954-11-27_army-navy.jpg\" alt=\"Army Cadets vs. Navy Midshipmen (November 27, 1954)\" width=\"600\" height=\"812\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1954, Philadelphia Municipal Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1959\/11-28_army-navy.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1959\/images\/ncaaf-program_1959-11-28_army-navy.jpg\" alt=\"Army Cadets vs. Navy Midshipmen (November 28, 1959)\" width=\"600\" height=\"812\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1959, Philadelphia Municipal Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1973\/12-01_army-navy.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sportspaper.info\/ncaaf\/seasons\/1973\/images\/ncaaf-program_1973-12-01_army-navy.jpg\" alt=\"Army Cadets vs. Navy Midshipmen (December 1, 1973)\" width=\"600\" height=\"814\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1973, John F.
