Bob tells a regional joke: "It is not true that possums are born dead by the side of the road." He insists that Terry fill out an application to the clan on a cocktail napkin. A Northern visitor is worried that he means the Klan. But no, this invitation is to join the Clan Maxwell Society. "We meet four times a year, wear kilts, promote Scottish culture."

Clapacs, who started three games at tackle last year in place of the injured Ford, led all returning linemen in tackles last year with 17. Anderson injured his finger in the Sept. 8 scrimmage with Northeastern...
