One in four men?(4)

- V - R

So the four could be IV? IVOR? But I don't get the men.

Ropes End seems good.
Guy - rope
death - end
naval punishment - Ropes End - both the punishment and the thing used to punish wit.

re Ivor,(it looks like the right answer) is that the full clue?

Yes, trevor, that's the entire clue.

I agree ROPE'S END must be right.

Also I got the V from this:

European federalist ideal briefly back in fashion (5).

VOGUE (EU GOV reversed)= FASHION

IVAR? In reverse RAVI, so that would give [the names of] men?

Still don't see the "one in four", though.

i checked 'off break' and it is a type of delivery (way of bowling) in cricket - i hate sport.
