A champion who would have celebrated the 50th anniversary of his victory at the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race next year was found dead in his apartment today. George R. Souders, 75, winner as a rookie of the 1927 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, died sometime Saturday, a spokesman for MurphyHahn Funeral Home said.

No service time has been set. Like the champions of the last 25 years who rolled on to fame and fortune, Souders' victory had gone all but unnoticed through the years by race fans and the racing fraternity. In an interview he registered no complaints, however. "I can't cry about anything. A lot of guys never made it as big as I did," he told a reporter.

But the racing fraternity didn't forget him in December 1974 when fire destroyed his mobile home in Lafayette. When word spread about his misfortune, the Indianapolis 500 Oldtimers Club bought a new mobile home for him and placed it in a Speedway trailer park. Fans and former 500 winners contributed more than $1,500 for him, in- Ralph E. Bloom Services Tomorrow Ralph E. Bloom 1929-1976 Services for Ralph E.
