Question

Why does Darry not want Ponyboy to fight in the rumble?

Answer 1

Just as the rumble begins, Dally shows up. Able to fight with only one arm, he announces that a rumble can't happen without him. The Socs lose the rumblebecause they run first. Everyone in Pony's gang is banged up, but the greasers win and that is all that matters.
