University boards beginning to keep guard (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
stay alert
'keep guard' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'university boards beginning' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'yale' (Yale is an example).
'boards' indicates putting letters inside.
'beginning' becomes 'start' (start is a kind of beginning).
'yale' going into 'start' is 'STAY ALERT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
