William E. Cantrell, a retired champion hydroplane racer and Indianapolis 500 driver, died Monday at The Medical Center of Southern Indiana in Charlestown following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 87. Cantrell, known throughout his career as "Wild Bill," was bom in West Point, but grew up in Louisville and lived in Detroit before making Madison his retirement home. He quit high school after a year to learn to be an electrician but became interested in wrestling and turned pro.

However, because of the presence of the Ohio River and numerous auto-racing tracks, the urge for speed prevailed in Cantrell's life. Cantrell earned his nickname during his first outboard-motor race in 1927. In those days steering was done with a stick, and when Cantrell opened the throttle the stick broke, causing the boat to speed aimlessly about until it ran up on the riverbank. Spectators yelled: "Look at wild Bill!" and the name stuck. During 1928 Cantrell won 19 of the 23 outboard races he entered.

He also raced autos and eventually raced in the Indianapolis 500. In 1948 he went 161 laps in the 500 before the steering failed, and in 1949 he drove 95 laps before a broken drive shaft put him out of the race. He was still driving in 1950 when rain stopped the race. He failed to qualify in 1951 and 1952. In 1949, Cantrell's fame as a speedboat pilot began to overshadow his ernor's Cup Race featuring unlimited hydroplanes in 1954 when he drove Gale IV on the Ohio River.

In 1963 he won the national title with his Miss Smirnoff. Cantrell remained involved in the sport and joined his longtime friend Graham Heath in setting up the Machine Shop in Madison. From 1979 to 1983 the two campaigned the My Gypsy hydroplane, a boat Cantrell designed and built for owner Jim Ranger while working with the Gale Racing Team in Detroit. Cantrell received many awards, the latest being his induction into the Mo-torsports Hall of Fame in Michigan in 1992. Cantrell is survived by several nieces and nephews.

The body was cremated. There will be no memorial service or visitation. Memorial gifts may take the form of contributions to the Wild Bill Cantrell Memorial Trophy Fund for the Antique Race Boat Regatta in Clayton, N.Y., co Lytle-Gans-Andrew, 423 W. Main Madison, Ind. 47250.
