SAN FRANCISCO. March "A. - To finish in four swimming races, and breaking either a worlds record or a Pacific coast record in each instance, but falling to win a single event is the unique experience Of Norman Ross, star swimmer of Stanford Uni versity and the Olympic Club of San Francisco.
 Ross competed --r the recent f7Sm' Pacific meet held in Honolulu and was opposed by a field in which worlds champions such as Ludy Lan. ger Perry McGillivray and other noted swimmers were his rivals. Four records were shattered. and in each instance was only a few inches be. hind.
 Since his return from the islands Ross friends have been asking what the trouble was with him as he did not win a single event.
 "It doesn't do any good to tell them i that I swan better than l ever did | before," said Ross. "The fact that did not win overshadows the fact that I finished second each time in better than the original world s mark"
