The 1932 Rollins Tars football team was an American football team that represented Rollins College of Orlando, Florida, as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) during the 1932 college football season. In their fourth year under head coach Jack McDowall, the Tars compiled a 6–0–1 record (2–0 against SIAA opponents) and outscored opponents by a total of 91 to 39. It was the first undefeated season in Rollins football history. The victory over Miami (FL) was also the first for a Rollins team. [1]

Halfback Will Rogers, described by The Orlando Evening Sentinel as a "150-pound streak", was the star on offense. [1] At the banquet following the season, Rogers' jersey bearing number 43 was placed in the trophy room "to be used in the last home game each season by the most deserving senior on the squad." [2]

Other key players included end Danny Contini who was called "one of the smartest players" ever to play for Rollins and brilliant on defense. Center "Flop" Morris and quarterback Ray "Heimie" Miller played every minute of every game for the 1932 Rolins team. [1]

Robert K. Evans was also a coach. MacDowall and Evans both played football at North Carolina. [1]

The team played its home games at Tinker Field in Orlando.
