Grantland Rice reworked it when he republished it later, in a collection of his poems and when he republished it in his column, which he did numerous times through the years. Most notably he dropped a final couplet that appeared in the original, and let how-you-played-the-game as the final line. But he also switched around writes and marks. The correct answer is that he wrote it both ways—writes/marks originally and marks/writes later, and more commonly.
