From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 15, 1909: With the formal state football championship almost in its grasp, previously unbeaten Lawrence High lost to Eureka, at Eureka, yesterday by a 6-2 score. The Lawrence boys feel much aggrieved over the game, claiming they got the ragged end of the officiating all through the game and say they would have won if they had been given a fair shake. Eureka got its touchdown o a fluke while Lawrence earned a safety after hard defensive work. . . . The report is that coach Cayou of the Washington University has been doping his players to put more ginger into them. That is the serious charge that will be laid before F.H. Ewerhardt of that school when he meets with officials in Kansas City Monday. Several team members have admitted that the coach drugged them with whisky. The year before, the coach reportedly used a “needle”, injecting a hyperdermic to make them play harder. One referee noticed this and reported it. The charges all seem deadly serious. . . . The notorious bank robber and murderer Ross Bullock died this morning after a failed robbery attempt at the Bank of Eudora. He shot himself during the latest robbery after his accomplice quickly gave up and Bullock said he’d never be taken alive. Bullock also shot and killed a lawman in Lawrence after the first bank robbery on Oct. 11.
