R is for rumble
The rumble is a big fighting event where the Socs and the Greasers fight. Normally everyone had a certain reason to fight but Ponyboy didn't have one, he saw fighting as pointless. Pony did fight though because he wanted payback towards the Socs for having a part in putting Johnny in the hospital.
