Take out a tie (4)
I believe the answer is:
draw
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'take out' is the first definition.
(I know that take out can be written as draw)
'a tie' is the second definition.
(I know that tie can be written as draw)
(Other definitions for draw that I've seen before include "Stalemate or tie" , "Sketch - tie" , "Pull along; sketch" , "No-winner result" , "Make representation" .)
