24a "Not up" is a call in the game of squash. A tup is a ram and, therefore, a ewe is "no tup"

24a. Not up is a fault call in tennis when a ball bounces (stots) twice on the receivers side before it can be returned, and no tup as described by Skyewalker.

Thanks for the clarification, Annobrain. When I did a search of the term, I only got the squash reference.

Strange that two of the answers in today's puzzle are also answers to 3D and 6D in the adjacent crossword by a different compiler.
