The Outsiders

What preparations did Ponyboy make before the fight? Why did he do this?

This takes place in chapter 9, before the rumble.

Ponyboy took some aspirin, showered, changed his clothing and "spruced up". Ponyboy noted that they always spruced up before a rumble, which would make it a pre-fight ritual.
