| 1. | Rather indirect in both elements of wordplay. In any case, no Oxford college has a Dean as its head. |

| A pretty uninspiring collection, so I awarded far fewer than 15 pointa, Sometimes it pays to keep it simple (as with the HOAXED anagram) rather than try to be too clever. For instance, who on earth would come up with 'Oxford head' when faced with 'dean' in a clue? I refer to clue 9. We shall see what the judges are made of by the number of points they give this one! |
