1930 Colgate football team

The 1930 Colgate football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University as an independent during the 1930 college football season. In its second season under head coach Andrew Kerr, the team compiled a 9–1 record, shut out seven of ten opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 383 to 27.

Fullback Leonard Macaluso led the country in scoring with 145 points. His points were scored on 19 touchdowns, 28 points after touchdown, and one field goal. He was also a consensus first-team pick on the 1930 All-America team. He was also the subject of press reports that he had played in two games in 1927 and was therefore ineligible. The team's other notable teams included:

• Halfback J. Leslie Hart was the team captain and a triple-threat man. He also competed for Colgate in track. He also was chosen by the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) as a first-team player on the 1930 All-Eastern football team.
• End John Orsi also received first-team All-Eastern honors from the NEA. In Colgate's post-season 7–6 victory over NYU, Orsi scored Colgate's only touchdown and blocked NYU's point after touchdown kick to preserve the victory.

Coach Kerr was an early inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951.

The team played its home games on Whitnall Field in Hamilton, New York.
