The 1929 Long Island Golden Tornado football team represented Long Island University as a member of the Metropolitan Collegiate Conference during the 1929 college football season. Led by second-year head coach Herbert Raubenheimer, the Golden Tornado compiled an overall record of 5–5 with a mark of 4–0 in conference play, winning the Metropolitan Collegiate Conference title.[1] The team played home games at Hawthorne Field in Brooklyn. Milt Anker was the team's captain.[2]
In Long Island's season finale against Brooklyn City College on November 29, a scoring system devised by Pop Warner was used where one point was awarded for each first down gained by the offensive team. Tries after touchdowns were eliminated as was the kickoff in the second half. Instead play resumed where it had ended in the first half.[3]
