INSIDE TRACK (adapted - #1-5)

Each of the words in the middle of the lines can be expanded into a longer word by adding letters before and after, one letter per blank. The added letters will spell a word in their own right. For example, given the clue

_ _ _ MAT _ _ , the answer would be PRIMATES - adding PRIES to MAT to get the longer word.

1. _ _ ARCH _
2. _ _ LOG _ _
3. _ _ _ OVER _ _ _
4. _ ONCE _ _ _ _
5. _ _ TIE _ _
6. _ ALL _ _
7. _ HALL _ _
8. _ _ ALL _ _
9. _ _ ASH _
10. _ _ RAT _ _
11. _ _ LIEN _
12. _ _ HOGAN _
13. _ HEAT _ _
