Brown U. crew team has success in England

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England -- The Henley Royal Regatta continues in England today.

American crews had mixed results yesterday on the first day of racing, although Brown University was a bright spot.

In the Temple Cup for student eights, Brown downed Jesus College of Cambridge, England, while Cal-Berkeley defeated First and Third Trinity, also of Cambridge, England.

In the same event, Cornell won by two lengths over Durham University, England, and Colgate beat England's Oxford Brookes University.

The Henley Royal Regatta is one of the world's oldest rowing events.
