When the Boston School of Physical Education was formed, there were two other schools of physical education in the Boston area: the Sargent School at Boston University, and the Posse-Nissen school. B.S.P.E. students did play intermural sports with those schools, but the principal competitions were between the Blue and the White teams, comprising the two halves of B.S.P.E.'s body.

The Blue and White competition was athletic, scholastic, and encompassed school spirit in general. Freshmen were assigned to a team at orientation, and the Blue and White competed all year, accumulating points for each achievement. The winning teamwas announced at Class Day at the end of the year.
