Avoid yielding a trick (5)
I believe the answer is:
dodge
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'avoid' is the first definition.
(dodge can mean to avoid or evade)
'a trick' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'yielding' is the link.
(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Sidestep with trick?" , "Avoid by sudden move" , "Avoid with subterfuge" , "Evade cunningly" , "Avoid by quick movement" .)
