In the Outsiders, the Greasers scared the Socs and won the rumble.
In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, there were seven Socs present at the rumble. The Socs were the wealthy, privileged social group in the story, known for their rivalry with the Greasers. The rumble was a physical fight between the Greasers and the Socs, organized to settle their ongoing conflict. The Socs outnumbered the Greasers, but the Greasers ultimately emerged victorious in the rumble.
19 greasers and 21 socs
They are alike by many ways. One way is that they both are gangs. But that one i know.
In "The Outsiders," two Socs attempted to drown Ponyboy in a fountain. They were part of a group that confronted him and Johnny while they were in the park. This incident escalated tensions between the Greasers and the Socs, ultimately leading to significant events in the story.
Basically, Ponyboy takes many kicks to the head, which wasn't a major problem. After, the Socs retreat (The greasers win, yay!) and Ponyboy and Darry go to the hospital in time to see johny die

They wanted to have a rumble because johnny had killed bob. As dally said "that soc you killed had many friends, so all over town its greaser VS soc" Hope that answered your question :)
Socs and Greasers are different, but there are many things the same about them.

A world without fighting between the greasers and Socs.
ponyboy and romeo-- both outsiders2. montagues and capulets is like socs and greasers 3. The tragic ending with many deaths
Ponyboy's ideas about life evolve significantly throughout the story, particularly after the rumble. Initially, he views life through a lens of division between the Socs and Greasers, feeling trapped by their rivalry. However, after the rumble and the traumatic events that follow, he begins to understand the futility of violence and the importance of unity and empathy. This shift leads him to reflect on the shared humanity between groups, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of his own identity and the complexities of his world.
The Socs were more of a disgrace to society because they had a good home life but they chose to waste it and cause trouble. They focus their energies on the greasers and don't feel many feelings.
Why are Socs bad and Greasers good ? The narrator and protagonist, Ponyboy, is struggling with that question too. Before meeting Cherry (a Soc) it was easy to answer: Socs are rich and act cruelly without motivation; they have all the advantages (tuff cars, jewelry, girls) and pick on the poor kids for kicks. Greasers, on the other hand, are downtrodden and basically good. The ones that aren't good are at least honorable (e.g. Dally takes the rap for a crime he didn't commit). After meeting and finding common ground with Cherry, Pony Boy struggles with identity and class division. He begins to understand that Socs like Cherry are like him in many ways. He comes to understand that individual identity is more than group identity.
A rumble takes place after Bob's death to settle the score between greasers and soc's, and it helps Ponyboy feel like he can do something and belong with a group in a society that looks down on him.
