In the fall of 1928 he drifted into the [[Northwest Athletic Club]] to box, where he quickly caught the eye of [[Dave Miller]], who became Steele's manager and father-figure.

	As a Tacoma grammar school student, Steele also showed an aptitude for basketball, soccer and baseball. Meanwhile, he added more and more wins to his promising boxing record.

By the spring of 1929, he had shown such promise as a boxer that manager Miller told Steele he should not expose himself to potential injury in these other sports, and stick to boxing.

	Steele graduated from Jason Lee in the spring of 1929. He entered Bellarmine High School (a Tacoma Catholic school) that fall, when he joined the school's "midget" football team. He made the midget football weight class of 132 pounds. But he wore the name "Johnson" on the back of his jersey, so that Dave Miller would not notice him playing. He had to abandon football when ~~his manager again advised against it~~. So he turned to the less potentially injurious sports of golf, swimming and horseback riding. With golf, he played in the low 80s, high 70s. He became an expert swimmer and diver. In fact, he and a companion rescued a pair of exhausted bathers from drowning in the Pacific Ocean while vacationing at Long Beach, Washington. (This location is infamous for its fatal eddies, ~~in which~~ many have drowned--even to this day.) He also became proficient at table tennis (ping-pong) and billiards.
