Trying to complete the Tribune Christmas Sports Crossword.  Short the three below. Any help would be appreciated. If I win I'll share the prize.  Feck, if I win, you can have the whole prize.

1. White peg in a multi-racial hole (4) - _A_E

2. Superman: Clarke Bent (6) - _A_R_N

3. Luxembourg young men who once got a draw at Anfield (4) - E_C_

I was serious about the prize by the way.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Glad you think so, SS2!

BTW did your friends on Yahoo  not help?

I would have thought PALE could have been an option, although RACE would also work but unlikely along with "multi-racial" in the clue.

Didn't see that one on Yahoo, but I saw some other boy had about six or seven clues from the crossword there. A very lazy approach and certainly not as rewarding as knowing the other answers or even googling for the missing ones.
