Am now complete except for confirmation of 19d arrogance of power trip ?r?d? ? pride
21d matching contest heard d?a? ?draw

[valerieb1254]

21d) Dual ?

[lelliej]

21d I think it's draw - you have a draw in a contest and a matching contest is a draw,

[gen2]

I confirm pride (p for power + ride = trip).

I'd go with valerieb1254 and dual which sounds like (heard) duel, a contest.

[wendyl]

who would believe the four letter word could prove the most difficult?

think I too will go for dual like Gen2 and valerieb1254

but thanks to all for encouragement
