Prospect Magazine Crossword Sept 2013 Issue
7 Answers
I'd appreciate help on the following clues:
9d A midshipman (6) R?L?E?
25a Goods with a deposit paid, but held until payment is complete (7) ?A?A?A?
52a US football referees (6) ?E?R?S
I think the letters shown are correct. The Prospect crossword is not cryptic: it specialises in obscure words.

I should have got ZEBRAS, from the striped jerseys; but the other two answers were new to me. As Sam1960 suggested, the L in my 15a effort was wrong. It came from my having got 13d wrong. The clue is "a sweetening device", for which I had AMELIORATOR, whereas the answer is EDULCORATOR, another word I've never heard of. I think I shall go back to cryptic crosswords!
