At the top of page 155, the snowball fight culminates with everyone turning on Finny. Why does this happen here and why now? How does this moment foreshadow events later in the chapter?

Everyone starts to team up on Finny because he betrayed his teammates and started throwing snowballs at them. This is all in a playful manner though, and they end the game laughing and in a jolly mood. Later in the chapter, at the trail, Brinker demands to know all the facts about what happened on that mysterious day when Finny shattered his leg. He interrogates Finny, Gene, and Leper to the point of anger. Unlike at the snowball fight, people are actually very upset with Brinker and not just playing around. At one point Finny, Gene, and Leper are so furious with Brinker and his need to know everything about everyone, that Finny yells in his face, "You collect every f---ing fact there is in the world!" This shows how angry Finny is with Brinker and how Brinker is capable of getting on somebody's nerves without wanting to. The teaming up and betrayal of Finny and his teammates foreshadowed the trial where Brinker betrayed his so called "friends" and pushed them to the point of fury.
