Waugh was unable to play in South Melbourne's team for the Round 11 game with St Kilda in 1897 after attempting suicide.[3] He had been spurned by his lover, and had become disconsolate. His mother found him in his room covered in blood, having cut his throat with a blunt knife. Luckily, he missed severing his windpipe and blood vessels, and a doctor was able to repair the wounds.[3][4]
