What is the main conflict in Chapter 1 of The Outsiders?

The main conflict in Chapter 1 is between Pony and the
Socs.  You can see this from the very start of the
chapter.

Pony comes out of the movie theater and starts
walking home.  Then the Socs jump him and start threatening to cut his hair off or to do
even worse things to him.

So, to me, this is the major
conflict in this first chapter.

If you are wondering what
kind of a conflict this is, it is pretty clearly a man v. man conflict.  It is one in
which two people or groups of people are in conflict.
