I don't have any information on the Rockne, which was a Studebaker product made from 1932-1933.  I have an old MoTor repair manual that goes back to 1935, and it shows that Studebaker used an automatic starter/ignition system at that time called the Bendix-Startix.   Turning the ignition/starter key to the on position  caused the engine to crank, and when the engine started the system automatically blocked  out the starter motor.  But if any time the key was on and the engine stalled, the system would automatically re-energize the starter motor, cranking the engine until it restarted.   I wonder if this is the system that is in your Rockne?

I'm attaching scans from the repair manual that the describe the operation and adjustment of the Bendix-startix system.  This might not exactly be what you have, but it might give you some information.

The manual shows that the 1935 through 1946 Studebaker was a positive ground system,  so it's fairly safe to assume that the Rockne from 1932-33 was also positive ground.
