Battle (for) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vie

(Other definitions for vie that I've seen before include "Strive in French way?" , "Contend for superiority" , "Rival" , "Try to do better than" , "Jockey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The Sun, the Ink Well xwords, the Jonesin', the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily and the Jonesin Crosswords.
