Veteran middle linebacker Fred Forsberg signed a multi-year contract with the Denver Broncos. And Cincinnati traded reserve linebacker Larry Ely to the Green Bay Packers for an undisclosed draft choice.

Forsberg, from the University of Washington, has been a starter for the Broncos for the past two years. Ely, a 6-1, 230 pounder, suffered a leg injury last season and played in only six games. He was the Bengals 16th round draft choice in 1970 after playing college football at the University of Iowa.

As of today, Falcon ticket manager Bill Bro-kaw reports the club has sold more than 48,500 season tickets, a new high. That figure is 3,500 more than the previous record of 45,000 in 1966, the Falcon year of inception. Before they report for the kickoff, it is conceive-able the Falcons will have sold 50,000 season tickets.

IN BRIEF: The five-hour telethon, in which Tommy Nobis played a major part, raised some $26,000 in the campaign to send retarded and disadvantaged children to summer camp. Another drive is planned for next year No figures were announced when the Minnesota Vikings said quarterback Fran Tarkenton had signed this week, but you can bet The Scrambler was in the salary category. In fact, Tarkenton has been in that economic strata for several years Pittsburgh defensive back Leo Calland, an ex-Falcon, is now the proprietor of a boutique in Underground Atlanta This is how talented Jake Scott is: He has been in the National Football League only two seasons, yet he ranks ninth among active punt returners.

In toto. he has returned 60 punts for 608 yards and a 10.1 average for the Miami Dolphins Washington's George Allen looked at 333 players at the Redskins' open-to-all tryout camp and signed six free agents, among them Florida State kicker-punter Duane Carrell. As of now, the kicking game is expected to draw a great deal of attention from Falcon coaches in training camp. Look for heavy traffic at the placekicking tee and in the punting game. It's said the Falcons recently checked out a punter who was booming 'em a consistent 65 yards Fullback Art Ma-, lone of the Falcons has become an Atlanta resident and begun workouts with speedy Joe Profit.

"That's what I'm trying to do, pick up some speed, and maybe working with a track man will help me," he says SOCK-ER-ROO The great TL HL Sock: White or with stripes. Fully cushioned. "I would certainly hope so," says Bro-kaw. More than ffwiking else, the Falcon season-ticket sales emphasize a fact of professional sports life. Fans want a winner.

They will support a winner. They think they are going to have a winner. "Remember what I say," remarked a Falcon player this week. "We've got a shot at the championship, a chance to go all the way. Most of the players feel this way." If there is a skeptic who doubts that football is king in the Southland, he need only check the season-ticket sales of the Falcons, and Saints.

The Miami fish, who have already been to the Super Bowl, are above the 60,000 level and, of course, the Saints attract from 70,000 to 80,000 for each home game. It is a tribute to the region that it has spawned two genuine contenders in Miami and Atlanta. And the Saints, they're marching up. MINUTE PRO-FILE: John Ralston, motivation is his bag. The new Denver Bronco coach is an accredited Dale Carnegie instructor who believes that self-improvement begins at home.

Says he: "We are dealing with a more involved athlete, one involved politically and socially. We must re-adjust, along with everyone else. You can't coach the same way you did 10 years ago. You have to be flexible." Ankl etijith 8.ir: Calf length 81.23 IRS AIR CONDITIONING REEDER 8 MiGAUGHEY MAILORDERS: Pltait add 4 tu in Fulton I DeKilb Counties. Others 1.

OTH6RS DO THAT. WHIT6 COHISKV? Running back Bill Taylor of Michigan, a fifth round pick, and linebacker Tom Chandler of Minnesota, 14th round, agreed to terms and contracts this week. Earlier, the Falcons announced the signing of sixth-round draft choice Mike Per-fetti, a Minnesota punter-defensive back; seventh-round selection Larry Moon, a Wisconsin running back, and 12th round draftee Larry Mialik, a Wisconsin tight end. Additionally, the Falcons picked up five free agents, to Placekicker Roger Jaeger of Wiscoasin. placekicker Ted Fritsch Jr.

of St. Norbert, defensive back Merl Code of North Carolina guard Billy Norman of Grambling and guard Bennett Edwards of Eastern Michigan. If Ted Fritsch is a familiar name, it's because his father, Ted was placekicker for Green Bay for eight years. Perhaps the sleeper of Thursday's signees is Taylor, who scored 30 touchdowns during his Michigan career and last season gained 1,215 yards on his way to the all-time Wolverine rushing record. Chandler, a 6-2, 215-pounder, was Minnesota's Most Valuable Player.

As an end in college, he blocked two kicks and sacked opposing quarterbacks 12 times. THOMY mo ooesnow ABOUT THIS IS OCR DRIAX, JOHN. fl THWK OF I I i cor Hoeev, 1 1 $599 II Reg COMi0' V'klOOU), YOU'RE TH6 COOPtE 7 (jjait6R. TU)0 MORE SI6M0WO FROSTS. TO ORD6R THOSE SWCE in I CAME OM POTV.
