Helen Wills Returns to Throne—George Lott Rated Highest of Crop of Youngsters. By the Awsociated Press. EW YORK, December 31.— Tennis courts of the world wit- nessed a full share of the dra- matic and dazzling in 1927 in the great “French Revolu- tion” that captured the Davis Cup, the downfill of such American main- stays as Bill Tilden, Bill Johnston and Molla Mallory &nd the rise of Amer- jea’s Helen Wills and England’s Betty Nuthall. Led by poker-faced Rene Lacoste In a campaign that wo credit to Napoleon, a wily quartet of youthful Frenchmen, who had tried two years and failed, attained their goal in brilliant victory over the vet- eran American Davis Cup defenders at_Germantown. It was three times and out. In 1925 the Frenchmen first reached the challenge round, only to take a 5-to-0 whitewashing. In 1926 the handwiit- ing on the wall appeared in a victory for Lacoste over Tilden in a 4-to-1 score against the invaders.
