Anthony Davis became a four-league man yesterday when the former running back from Southern California signed on with the Los Angeles Express of the new United States Football League. After Davis left U.S.C. in 1975, he went to the Southern California Sun of the World Football League for one season, spent another with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League in 1977. He also played for Houston and the Los Angeles Rams in the N.F.L.
In other USFL news;
The New Jersey Generals of the USFL Friday signed NFL veteran linebacker Rod Shoate and draft choice Bryan Mallard. Shoate, a second round draft choice of the New England Patriots in 1975 out of Oklahmona, played with the Patriots until the 1981 season, when he was traded to Chicago.
Shoate was released by the Bears late during the 1982 training camp. Mallard, an offensive guard from Texas, was New Jersey's 12th round pick in the USFL's inaugural draft in January.
The Generals also waived defensive back Donnie Love from Houston. New Jersey now has 88 players on its roster and must get down to 70 by Feb. 7. Of the players in camp, 15 are from Oklahoma and seven from Syracuse, which are two of the Generals' territorial schools.
