Superior old paper takes man from college and young woman with a teacher's position (3,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
top of the class
'a teacher's position' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'superior old paper takes man from college and young woman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'superior' could be 'top' and 'top' is present in the answer.
'old' could be 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'paper' could be 'ft' and 'ft' is located in the answer.
'man' could be 'he' and 'he' is found in the answer.
'college' could be 'c' and 'c' is present in the answer.
'woman' could be 'lass' and 'lass' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' is the link.
